no class really, I just like to race. It'll be a stock style suspension with minitubs and coilovers............motor combo may be of the twin turbo type with an air to water intercooler;)

sound deadner is worth 10lbs
heat it with a torch then scrape makes the tough places easier to get out

I would get it out now because doing it later sucks. Every pound you get out is worth it. you can always put weight in if need be.

Why didn't you show the back wheels with those good looking turbines?
I think you have done it. Your car is almost as ugly as mine. All you have to do now is throw some bondo dust all over it and let it sit outside for a month or two and you will be there.

BTW, I have some really nice black door panels for sale.

We may still do that, I'll have to make several changes to get mine to run good on motor again.;) As it sits now, it'll only run 6.40's.

I dont know if it's worth it,yet. I miss my old car, and now i remember how much of a pain in the ass it is to build a hot-rod. I took the motor/tranny and wiring out last night. I'm starting to fix/fill and clean the ngine compartment now..................what a fucking mess this thing is!!
