Was under $2000 shipped to Canada, shipping on something that weighs 60lbs isn't cheap either lol.

How does this compare to the turbo you have on your FB? I was just looking at a couple of your threads and it looks kinda similar.

I have a Garrett GT45 that weighs in at right around 55 lbs as well. I havent quite decided if it is going on my car or not... Here it is pictured next to a Holset HX-40, it is roughly the same size as a 60-1.

Heres a couple pics of the chassis and the rim and rear tire combo we bought. The rear tires are 31" x 16" on 15" rims.
The chassis starts to get cut apart this week, hoping to have it fully done in 2 months.








Heres an example of the chassis builders work and its exactly what he is doing for our car:
