Roughing in new firewall

Here are some pictures of the new firewall. Rollbar tubing needs to be trimmed properly. The rectangular tubing is just propped up for now.  Looks a little crude now but I think chicks will dig it when it's all finished.  Mid plate will bolt directly to the firewall. It's made with 2 x 3" tubing.

Longer wheelbase

I needed to stretch my wb 10.7".  After a suggestion from Steve Mohr (more hats then heads) to make it easier to exit my car, I decided to stretch it in the middle.  I made some 30" 'plugs' to align it all.  Loganville's baddest hot rodder Jason Bruckner had suggested lengthening it along the frame rails earlier.  He came by to confirm the plan and then came the cut off wheel.  The firewall is still in the same place relative to the back wheels.

Together but not welded

10.7" addition

6" to go

Coming together

Back half

merging the body and chassis

it's mocked up and not too far off.  the hard work is ahead.  cage needs to be changed a little and the wheelbase needs to be stretched 10.7".

RacingJunk.com find from Tony Ave

Tony Ave (road race and former Nascar Driver) had this chassis for sale on RacingJunk.com.  I bought it.

It started with a Craigslist indiscretion

I got the body off craigslist.  There were 2 cars.  I bought them from Paul 'hoonboy' somewhere in souf cacilac

Paul's buddy had a boom lift.  much easier
