Rick where is wheel to wheel. What kind of shop is it.
First, thanks for the interest in the vehicle and my work
….but I was hoping this thread would not incorporate questions pertaining to my car… that would be better suited for the X Ray thread ….sorry just trying to keep it organized for future readers. I hope there are no hard feelings.
To answer the first question about if my car, “was built on the assembly line” the answer is No….I built the vehicle after the production was over. I had all the parts and wanted to build a GNX, but I wanted to build it so everyone would know it wasn’t a production vehicle… so I built it out of a white T-Type …..and I thought it would look cool. I built the majority at my friend’s collision shop using the same processes I used to build the prototype vehicles. I did take the car back to the ASC Tech Center and install the rear suspension and did the transmission update there. The Tech Center had a hoist which the collision shop did not. (it made it so much easier:biggrin: )
As for where W2W is and what do we do ……We are in Madison Heights Michigan and this is the website address
Wheel to Wheel Powertrain for our power train division. We also build show cars for the big three along with doing engineering for them. We also engineer second stage vehicles ….a second stage vehicle is like the GNX, where it is built and the manufacturer sends it to the dealer to sell it to you.
As of this moment our business is changing drastically and our scope of work is changing ….we are getting out of the individual custom work:frown: at this time and I really don’t know what the new shape of the company will be. I just hope that I will be in their plans
. I am currently working as an Engineer for the Second Stage part of the company. I hope that answers your questions.
For the readers that want more information pertaining to the main theme of this thread I will be posting a picture of the Chassis Dyno Test results in the near future. Regards Rick
