WANTED: Altered or Front Engined Digger Chassis

Ye, it would appear that I have stopped taking my medication.
It's an itch I have wanted to scratch for some time, especially after seeing Nick Osgathorpe's superb creation.
I fancy a front engined nostalgia rail or Altered Whelbase car as a new project.
Notwithstanding eBay, does anyone have anything squirrelled away for a rainy day?
Must be a complete rolling chassis - rear end, front end, steering, etc; and must be big enough to take a BB Chysler.
I will prepare the "tumbleweed" Emoticon accordingly................
Many thanks,
Pete

How fast are you wanting to run? Clayton Round is still trying to sell his 6sec T all fresh, new blower, new lenco, ran 6.9's with smaller blower and glide, think £18k would buy it with the enclosed trailer etc

Thanks Jerry/Marc.
I think that is a bit OTT for my needs and aspirations.
I want a rolling shell as motor and Trans are sorted.
Thanks for replying, though..

Sure there was a slingshot with a chubby lump recently on eBay Pete.
Don't know if it sold ?
Try and dig it out

Alternatively speak to Roy Wilding, he'll build you an all new car and it's cheaper than you'd think, your looking at around £6k to build the car to a roller (I've priced it up), I have plans here for a slingshot and have a tube supplier so could also build you a chassis, just a thought

I'm very happy to see you going this route Pete- exactly what I'd do if I had the money.
I'd love a simple, lightweight front engined slingy with narrow slicks you could smoke halfway up the track
This is the stuff the forum needs, I'll be glued to your progress

Thanks DB but have not bought one yet, or worked my magic with Mrs Wiseman to full effect either....
However, I am working on that one and I do have a bazillion brownie points at the moment (mind you I have used a few up having boughgt 5 motorcycles as well...................)
