So I've been putting together parts, resources, and specs for my own build over the past year or so when I have a spare second... which isn't often. Here's where I start the thread.

I spent some time up close to the JL mobile, took some rough measurements, and got some detail pics everyone might be interested in...
Looks like the released dimensions were a bit off... I have the actual ride at ~10' wide x 19' long. And this car is a driving hero car that continued on from BvS from what I've been informed.
I tried to grab angles that I hadn't seen a lot of online yet...

This car is definitely running an LS3 GM motor, with full headers in normally aspirated configuration, backed by a 3-speed auto... so it has just enough power and gearing to get the severely rear heavy 7000# mobile to drift out on wet pavement stunt driving maneuvers. There isn't enough power to get the same results on dry asphalt though.
The tube frame chassis is an oversized trophy truck basically, and riding on air sprung shocks for huge amounts of wheel travel and to raise/lower the vehicle drastically depending on the filmed scene needs. The cockpit is a tad snugger than the later c5/6/7 corvettes.
tires are 400/55-22.5 front(~40"tall), 700/50-22.5 rear(~51"tall) on 8-lug 22.5 multi-piece wheels.
I don't intend to exactly duplicate this thing, as I need it road usable/legal. Which means dimensions will be scaled down to an 8' wide x 16' long version, with DOT tires capable of at least a bias ply 80mph max speed on 20" renditions. The engine will by similar, but with better power adders, but layout will be front engine/trans/driveshaft/rearend orientation.

Thank you for the nice new pix. I really like the wheel and suspension pix. There appears to be some writing on the hub cover but I can't make it out. Happen to know what it is? Also, any idea on the headlight source?

If you mean the rear wheel hub cover, that is another Rizoma part, Ducati Clutch cover actually... I will try and capture as many of those parts here in the thread as possible.
these are both in each side mechanics as well...
https://www.motostrano.com/Rizoma-Ducati-Clutch-Cover-p/zdm024.htm
you can get in black overseas too...
over top a Rizoma monster pressure plate...
from what I stated in sly's thread earlier...
for the 1 steering wheel mount and side "suspension" pivots exposed mechanics, they used these Rizoma motorcycle parts... Rizoma Suzuki GSXR Clutch cover, and BMW Camshaft Cover for the center bolt.
there's even one of these on the rear center differential housing...
this BMW Camshaft Cover is used for other bolts on the side mechanics too, a couple are on each rear wheel cover/outer-hub assembly.
more parts in the side mechanics... two per side of the car.

and along the steering wheel line from that thread as well...

And if you need it to look a little more familiar, just rotate it upside down...

and this Winters Sidewinder is the shifter they used...
you can find them pretty easily from $200-250 range.

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog flightstick was also used in cockpit... and the accompanying throttle control was used by Alfred in the batcave too for remote driving the bat-vehicles.
