I live in Wooster and currently am planning on building a seven.
However, I need an idea on the size of teh car since i am a sizable fellow. (6ft 2in size 15's).

Anyone in teh area mind if i come by to look at the car or meet up somewhere?

Esp interested if powered by v8ness or if the frame is a 442 (to see if taht is big enough.)

would perhaps pay by way of beer... :cool:

sent a reply about the ginetta...yes, your more than welcome to come look at ours!
uhhh...size 15's wont fit in the Birkin 7 though... for that you might need to think about something a bit larger..

The ginetta will fit your height..but once again the footwell is little bigger than the Birkin se7en.

I live just south of Detroit and I have a 442 frame hanging in my rafters you can sit in and get an idea of its size if you wanted to. I also have a variant sittin gon the floor but it is still abit rough.

YEAAAA someone in my area with a 7,,,,Whats the chances of showing to another person?? like myself? I have never seen one on the road in the akron area,, I have been having a mental battle over whether or not to do a 7 or build a street legal fully enclosed sand rail, my co-worker gave me a CJ3A jeep and the frame is amazingly good with a wheelbase of 81 inches. I have already started taking all the suspension off and plan on stretching it out but if I could see your 7 in person it might help me make up my mind. The more I see the Donkervoort the more I am leaning towards the 7 tho.

I moved on for a while staring at other cars.

Just had a serious talk with the wife to be (in four years, thatd make 9 years of dating... o.O).
Nothing else really makes me excited happy enough to spend 25k and pay for the next 7 years.

So im back to hunting 7's. Well building one.

I might just look you up in Beach city this weekend. (ill pm you when i make up my mind.)

Im pretty sure i wont fit in it. But it will give am idea if im just loco in thinking i can make one thatll be lightweight and fit me.

(im 6foot + and wear size 15 shoes.)

I looked today and cleveland pick a part has complete rear and front susp from GTO's for around 1k (thats including dif.)
All id need is driveshaft and eng+tranny and a whole bunch of other parts.

TNTtim i got your pm and am seriously thinking about it. I need to work out if im being insane though.
(i dont even know how to weld.)
