We have a large room upstairs, it's Fran's office, but it's still big enough. I estimate the tub weighs around 250-300 lbs. I got three friends and we muscled it up the stairs. It was not "easy" but after all it is a CAR  .
I have been around a lot of LMP cars, but until I bought this car I had never seen a Caddy in person. For some reason, in photos they looked smaller...
I can attest when you add the bits, they are huge! |
OMG, it's up on the second floor haha! Does the rollover structure just bolt onto the back of the main tub or is it something that has to be bonded on?
I got to see these cars twice in person, though not this specific chassis. At Daytona where they ran the full width roll hoop, and then at Petit Le Mans in normal configuration. They were definitely a fan favorite and it was a shame when the program was ended after just a few years, and when they seemed to making good progress with the second gen chassis.
