    Hi guys, its bit of an odd question, but is there anyone out here who could measure the width of the cockpit/interior, and the length all the way from the firewall to the point where your feet are?
    Im going to build a car from scratch and would like some comparisons.,
    Thanks!

    Doesn't matter, I believe the 430 chassis is an evolution of the 360 so I guess they should be the same?

    I *believe* the 430 is "bigger".

    Anyway, my 360 is ~57" across the cabin and ~60" from the firewall to the base of the "pedal box".

    HTH - Please keep us updated on your build - A "real" car or a model?.... What are you up to? - I'm intrigued......

    Cheers,
    Ian

    It will be a 'real' car, I will be using corvette hubs, uprights, brakes and wheels (due to availability and price) and will fabricate my own tubular chrom-moly spaceframe, with a one off body (not sure how Im going to do that but we will see..)
    Already have some parts and a few other are on their way in a container (Im from the Netherlands)
    It have sort of the same style as the new McLaren MP4-12C, the same sort of cab-forward design.
    Thanks for the measurements by the way!

    Agreed. Please keep a running diary with pictures here on F-Chat. There have been other incredibly interesting threads like this. The one I remember clearly was putting a manual tranny in a CS.

    Good luck.
