Says fiberglass front (instead of stock sheetmetal). It's a drag car so it's completely understandable both from a cooling and cost standpoint. It's just a chassis.

That car looks pretty sweet from the front. However I do not like the back. Looks like it was done really good. I like the way it sits too with the 15" welds and the cowl hood. Anybody know what type of hood that might be? Also I know this has been done 1000 times but im thinking of running the same rims and I was wondering what backspacing to use? I like how his don't stick out of the wheel wells. I wan to do the 15x11 in rear and the 15x4's in front.

Thanks guys,

Sean

It would look even better if they put the stock front end back on.

If I had the cash to toss & if everything seemed kosher.

Then I would pick it up. It is getting harder & harder to find ideas to set you apart from the crowd.

this is a 84 trans am with a camaro front fiberglass hood, fenders, and front bumper ; this car will be an easy 9 second car with a 5500 stall converter.car
It's a 'functional' car that's not a 'show' car. It just looks taken care of. He doesn't seem to care that it doesn't have a trans am front end because he races it and doesn't show it because it's a race car and not a show car since it's a race car. Race car.
