My Beast

After allowing way to much time to elapse, Sunday the 18th I went to spring my car out of chassis shop jail, and Im going to try and finish it myself. Hell maybe working in the garage instead of sitting in front of the television will get this extra 20 lbs i have gained since I last got to race it (2009) off. Met my goal of having the front plate, mid plate, and trans crossmember built by the end of the 4 day weekend.

What all needs to be done is mearly, mount the lexan Windshield, Door Glass, Rear Window, T*tops, the fiberglass Front End, Hood, Trunk Lid, Dash, rear wing, Kirkey alum seats, Fuel Cell, Shifter, Radiator, tin the Floor, Firewall, Transmission Tunnel, Door Panel, and a host of other parts I already have, plus the OHH **** i forgot about that pieces.

Here are pics as of today

Re: My Beast

You have some work ahead of you, but that is one cool drag car. I love how the 3rd gen Camaro's can pull off all kinds of styles.

Yes that is a fuel cell, and trying to figure how to mount it, and the radiator is going to give me grey hair
