When completed this convertible will be fitted with the front and rear Dobbertin suspension components, an LS engine, BC Saginaw 4-speed and a C5 differential. Bob has provided an introduction on his website and posted his first video showing the milling of the adapter. A detailed explanation is included with the video.

Bob Depalo, the owner of Red Dragon Automotive is in the late stages of his race car build for Mark Allen, another V-8 Registry member. The plan is to have Mark's Corvair Conversion ready for the spring racing season. It appears that Bob is on schedule to meet this goal. The chassis work is completed and Bob has just recently lowered the Corvair convertible body that Mark sent him onto the chassis. The body has been modified to assemble to the race chassis. Bob reports that the body will have 8 anchor points. The remaining items on the assembly list include brake lines, wiring to body, cooling system, interior and body trim. Here's the most recent pictures provided by Bob.
