Humm 10 pt cage, I don't see that many bars. Excellent shape? Looks beat to hell in the engine compartment. Suprised he even was able to run at a strip with the fuel cell like that.

I'm just curious, not that I would ever do it, but how hard is it to swap the noses, do they just bolt in with some drilling, or is it major body work?

Probably just bolt up, keeps the costs down.

So what the big deal with this??? Everyone seams to go nuts when they find one. Some time you only have access to so many part in your budget range. The cars are the same thing once naked. Doesn't matter how you dress them.


i bet he got the clip on a deal and it had a cool hood.
