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.

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!

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......

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. ;D
