Now I am confused....There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between taking an existing chassis, and cutting " here and there" to make a few tweaks, vs building your own chassis from scratch, which is what most of the reports on what Weiss is intending on doing.

I think he already did the cutting part. I don't think he has anything left on the car that labels it a SBR car. Now, step 2 is build a new one or 2.

My understanding was that they were cutting them up to try some new ideas to test with. Then when they figure out what they want they will be building brand new chassis that specific way.

When I spoke to Owens' crew guy 2-3 years ago I asked him why they didn't go back to Bloomquist cars (Jimmy was struggling at the time) and he replied quickly with "Scott won't sell us one". I understand that may not be the case these days, but it was back then.

Yeah that part is definitely true. Scott didn't want to sell any chassis anymore for a period of 3-5 years ago. This is when Randy and Scott were fine tuning a brand new style chassis so they did not want to build anything till they found what they wanted first. I guarantee Scott would love to have Jimmy driving a Team Zero car now.
