Re-did the roll bar

one step closer to getting done.

Cage is almost done. again.. I riped the last one out so it would clear the top and tonnu cover better. 4thgen door pannels too.





Finish the mini tubbs next and put all the damm int. back in.

Looks like it's going to be pretty cool when done . I will most likely end up with a roll bar or cage in mine too . Won't be mini- tubbing mine though . You must be planning on running some pretty good times on that car . I have a 400 going in mine this winter and it's going to be pretty quick next year , but I love to drive my car so if I have to put something in I want to keep it minimal as can be while still being track legal . When do you plan on having yours done ?

stroked 400 with a LARGE turbo....

No time line on this.... when ever. I should have the chassis done this winter.

All I need for the motor is pistons.















I have all new sheetmetal to go on it next sometime soon.

What is the plan for this car? With the cage and skinny up front, I would guess drag racing in which case I would ask, "Why bother with the back seat?

It's great to see progress.

WOW that is an awsome photoshop. Did you make it yourself (I would bet you did) Can you make one of my car? I know this is sort of a large request, but I really wanna see my car like that so I can put it in my sig.

I want that same hood too and I am aslo making it out of a 91 so it has the same GFX. Mine is just a hardtop with a 6 point. White. With gunmetal (charcoal, not black) ZR-1s with 335s and 275's. If you can do this I would greatly appreciate it. If not, thats cool and i totally understand. I have been building my car for 2.5 years and want to be done by the time you are done too. Maybe I will see you on that power tour. That would be SICK. By the way I am running a 385 with a rediculouse cam. Should be good for 500 flywheel HP. Then there is a 150-250 shot on top of that.

Great job keeping us updated. Makes me feel better knowing I am not the only crazy one. LOL
