You can obviously see that the top pic is the ashtray fliped open and the bottom is the ashtray flipped closed.

No need to be a ***** about it being "obvious", much less that it was already explained. Your post was 110% unecessary.

I think you are seeing the two photos with no space between them - note one photo is ashtray lid open, one is closed.

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
BIG_MODS great job. I had hoped to do all the gusseting to the body like you did but I really wanted to get my autocross car back on the track this season. I just ended up notching the windshield frame and welding the halo directly to it. I also notched the structure between the t-tops and welded it to the main hoop.
LUCKY!

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
Haven't got anything real exciting done on mine lately, just fabbed up a couple plates for the strut towers... The larger ones on the side are for the engine front plate mounts, the smaller ones will be for a brace tube running back inside the car to the cowl hoop..... Also lengthened the upper strut mounts to accomodate the lowered suspension... Still have to do some fabbing on the inside of the mount for the coilovers to fit where I want them......

Hey radical,
Where are you planning on running that exhaust to? If I were to do a turbo set-up I've thought about running the exhaust in that same direction but cutting a hole in the fender and letting it shoot straight out. That'd be way too loud for a NA car, but the turbo might quiet it down enough.

Not doing a turbo... Just a set of fenderwell headers and outside exhaust similar to the mid 60's Vette option... Not enough room under the car to put an exhaust system on it, car sits too low..... Going to be a stroker engine with mechanical roller cam, don't want to choke down the exhaust with Y pipe underneath the car....Frame ties are taking up the little bit of room that was under the car anyway...

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
Depends on how you plan on finishing the inner panels.... Will you be painting them, brushed finished, polished, or ??????
I think once you get the door handles in place and clean up the edges of the aluminum a bit it will look fine!!!! I used to polish the inside aluminum panels, but as I got older I've discovered that paint is a whole lot less upkeep!!!!!!!!!

Is it just me or does that decklid look C3 corvette inspired. Correct me if i'm mistaken but it looks king of like of the C3 rear decklid, coincidence.... maybe. Either way it is way cool.

Before
After
B&S 5.5hp lawn mower.
Polished head and piston. added a 0.000" head gasket, hotter plug and higher amp wire. K&N fillter. stright pipe with some muffling capabilities. modified carburetor and adapted a linkage to control the throttle blade. This mower spun an extremely high RPM at a almost wide open throttle to consistently keep it stable at such a high level of rpm the the blade had to be perfectly balanced. it was then field tested on many various items that one would find in a yard or in a alley, success!

This reminds me of the C5 Z06 that was a regular corvette with a smaller back window. Looks sweet. Like to see more pics, especially from the side. Might want to do something similar if I ever buy a camaro.

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
lol at the lawnmower.
who would have thought... high compression mowers.
pretty cool either way though.
now just put it on a kart and it will really be cool.
btw, a HS buddy of mine emptied a half a tank of N2O into a lawnmower (50 shot i think) and it held for the entire 2-3 minutes
i guess briggs and straton really knows how to build stuff to last

Looks like I'm not the only one that made some custom A pillars with plates, I just finished mine last week and painted the interior white. That and my custom made dash are my favorite mods I did........Frank

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
Frank & BigMods... what are you guys planning on doing for the weatherstripping around the window/door... looks like you welded the plates to the flange that it attached over originally.
Otherwise, looks great, I've thought about doing the same myself.

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
Thanks guy's, I don't have any side windows on my car so no weather stripping is needed. I smoothed all that out Nascar style. I'm building my car like a IROC race car from the 80's, but with some modern stuff too like the plates on the A pillars. It will have a old school look to it Nascar style. But here is a better dash pic.......Frank

Re: lets see some pics of your custom mods and/or fabrication
I'm putting weatherstrip back in mine. I didn't overlap the gussets with the original flange that held the weather strip. I took the original black weather strip "flange", put it on the car, scribed a line. Made sure my gussets didn't go in that area.

There's more to this than you can see in the pics. The trunk well has been cut and raised about 6". I originally had them under the bumper, NASTY looking. If you aren't willing to cut and raise it all, I wouldn't do it. Later, Dean.
