    I have been working on this car since late October. Basicly it a 31 sedan I'm building for a customer. But the cool thing is we are plaining to run 9.90s or better with it. It's getting an Injected small block(427 ci) and a turbo 400 with a trans brake.In the rear a 9" Fab 9 housing with strange guts. Also a full cage and motor plates.
    Most of the Ch***ie is done and about half the cage. This week we are going to pull the body off to finish weld the cage.
    I have three days in to cutting the holes in the frame and welding two inch pipe in the holes. Plus drilling the beam, wish bones and what ever else I can stick a drill or hole saw in.
    The car was already choped and had the roof filled before I got it. We set the body 5 inchs off the ground. We are running some mis matched steel wheels and some slicks in the rear. Thats it for now. thanks Scott

    Hey cool tudor, reminds me of this one, belongs to a friend of mine, runs a 348W Chev motor. Note the holes everywhere-you cant see the visor and door inner pillars have lightening holes as well. Everything is styled aircraft/race car, as he is a cl***ic racecar fabricator for a job.
