wow, I missed you guys...

Will probably ditch the slats. The car will be raced quite a bit. A coupe was in the thought process for the same reason. He wants to be able to see. So we settled on a FB, but no slats.

progress pics for the ones following along
we need to start fresh and this 408 won't cut it...

Need to make some corrections I left in. We decided on a Worlds block, even though I wrote in Dart at the top. And we went with a hyd cam. Didn't want ANY issues. talked to local guys that were breaking rockers around town at low RPM's, even with low lash solids. Without the rebound from the spring at high rpm's, figured it was breaking from bouncing off the backside of the cam. We'll still meet our HP goal, just a little more cam.

Shaved the trunk lock hole. You can see a little heat fence around it to minimize heat warping.

We've got the Fab 9 in, just need to get the calipers on and take some more pics !

Started to mock up the front end, see if a 265 is going to fit up front. hopefully won't have to notch the frame rail.

Got it up and level to check where the engine might go. Have to check ride hieght before making it 100% though.

So it's nice and low in there, for now.

Nobody would let us "borrow" a tire, so had to buy used. It's a little taller than what will go on, but for testing purposes, it will be fine. We are going with a 275/35/18. the has the nick name "Steam roller"now

Set the tires in there to take a look. They are taller than they will be again, but just an idea.
