Hello.
guy I dont know what data you have about SE030, but maby You know how was it with transmision in this car. I read about SE031 that rear dif and gear box was from DeTomasso Panther GTS, so maby also in 030 this option was also used.
I,m still wondering how rear suspension was build, was it modify montecarlo, or it was straight new one.
If you, or any one could help me with this...I would be greateful..
kind`regards

Hi Guy,
I have been watching this thread and project come together with interest - so great work and I am looking forward very much to seeing the finished car. I have 2 questions - 1. What engine and gearbox are you going to use - the standard Montecarlo unit, or will you be putting a inline engine with a transaxle?
Question number 2 - Do you have any plans for building/producing a Stradale kit/replica?
Keep up the good work!

hallo Darren ,I have sold now already one car and one Kit.So the production is already started .I can work on cars from here our you can send a car.Our you can buy a Kit and build it yourself.The car will drive first with the Lancia unit but the buyers have already order from me a Fiat 130 V6 engine like it was in the time.I find already the intakecollector for the tree weber so for the gearbox I must find a good donor ,small and goodway turning .Mayby Alfa 33 ?But this is not for direct our someone must order one ready.The send me already photo from interior but I think the original is nicer .The rollcages are already in production .This week I recive the first photos from the 9x13 and 12x13 wheels but will have probleme to find the tyres(michelin)

- Hi again Guy - not surprised you already have orders for the kit and the car. Have any found their way to the UK yet? Speaking of which - how far a drive is it to you from Calais or Ostende?
I have a few questions though - mainly what happens about the standard Montecarlo suspension? The body is quite a bit wider than the standard monte, and I know you are looking at wide wheels - what affect on handling will they have? I see you are going for 13 inch rims - I assume these were no the original car, so what kind of brakes would you suggest with a v6 engine? Alfa 164 engine mated to an alfa 33 transaction, with triple carbs rather than the fuel injection?
I saw the pictures of the original interior - are you going to produce a dashboard moulding or go with the standard Montecarlo interior? Sorry for so many questions!
Regards
Darren
