Then they need to do the same thing for engine parts. If you buy a BIW, you should be able to buy all the GM parts used to build an engine for it at 5% over cost or less.
And the same thing for all of the front suspension, and the rest of the stuff to put the car together. They know every piece that is needed to build the car, they should offer packages for all of it.
They need to make it really affordable to build a car. Anything a person who purchases a BIW from GM needs that GM can supply they should sell at 5% over cost, or less.

Alan,
This exactly the kind of thing that GM needs to hear. This project never died, it was just put on the back-burner for obvious reasons. Nothing is written in stone, but I can tell you that there are people at GM that want to see this happen. I have started getting contact information from racers and collectors. I will forward everything to GM along with my suggestions on how they should proceed.
Take Care,
Daren
