Wow this car looks awesome. I have been watching this thread with much interest. I would like to know if there is anyway you could get me some measurements of the rear frame work and roll cage. I really like the door bars. This car has a perfect stance, and looks ready to race. Did you by chance use drop spindles on the front? Any info would be much appreciated. I would also like to see some video.

Nice job,VERY NICE!! thanks for all the posts as your project moved along. Seeing you get to the finish line helps me keep running (some times feels like a slow walk)towards the com pleation of my project. Thanks again. Bud

Beautiful car. Not overdone at all. I really like the trim not being painted. Was hoping to see this in red but it looks awsome nonetheless. I still can`t get over how cool that intake setup looks. Extremely nice layout. Perfect!

Any word on the tire sizes front and rear?

I love it !!! It's the direction my '73 Sedan may be heading eventually but as badly as I wanted to run my 302/T5 combo, I keep leaning toward a 2.3 turbo/T5 instead. This build reinforced my desire to tuck the 29x15.5 Sportsmans I bought for it, although my '07 Stang needs an influx of cash to get the 5.4 capable of 800 RWHP so a lot of stuff may get sold off to pay the bill......

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS.....

We are looking heavily into cutting up the dragster to graft the back half into the `78. Gotta have meats that are as close as possible to touching one another. Dragster can`t get certified anymore without damn near redesigning the whole chassis. Plus it hasn`t seen a track in over 6 years. Dana 60 rear with disc. I` want to run 33x16.5`s under it. This oughta work.
