Title: Palatov D47
Post by: Chuck Nukem on Sunday,May 08, 2016, 08:37:22 AM

Very interesting build. Palatov is quite famous these days. It looks like a Europa owner contacted him for a one off build. If you click on the europa picture on the left side of his site you can scroll through the pages with the numbers on the top.

Very cool! I'm a bit surprised he kept with the backbone as much as he did considering he really has a whole new chassis. It will be fun to watch his progress!

Man that is really an all out build.  Pretty cool as a go fast machine.  It would be interesting to know what the target finished weight is with all that steel going into it.

He's currently in need of a good body for the project.  He'd like to find a S2, TC, or Special body with trim and glass.  I've been keeping an eye out him (and posted in the classified section).  Like the rest of his cars, I'm sure it will be seriously fast.

I believe the target weight is set to be ~1400 lbs

About the weight of a stock S1.
