Thanks. If I were to cage the car with the frontend it is going to be $4500.
I might just do the front end not 100% sure what way I am going yet. If I just do the front it will be $2500-$3500.Thanks for looking.

Yeah I have lost sleep over this car that for sure. I was looking for a car in better shape than the 75 cvcc that I have to do the project. When I went to pick the car it was in way better shape than I ever thought it would be. After thinking on it for weeks I am going for it.

Its a slow time in the build with the car at the chassis shop. We are trying to keep as much as the stock eng. bay as we can ,just dont want to cut the front off! I updat the link when things are going on right know I am working on the fuel system. Thanks for looking.

Hope I am doing the right thing with this car.Anyway I am still in need of 02 and up front spindles ,bought two sets on here and have yet to see them:down:I am running out of time.

I know.....I know.... this storm we just got hit with did not help!

is is about were I am at.
We got a little done today , the rest of the front end off and the gas tank out. The inside is comming along seats are out and should have the dash out soon. Found some $ from 78 under the carpet ,everything helps.As soon as I know what fuel pump I am going to use I will start on the gas tank.

The front is going back on,It will make it ez to make the tube front end and then put it back.It will have the stock front end on when its done.

Ok got the dash out and the rest of the wires under the hood. We are almost ready for the chassis shop.

I have been all over with this project but this car is just getting a front end and subframe no cage at this point. This car is for fun not a "track car". I am working on another car for the track but this is first up. I want a car I can drive on the streets not for racing just the weekends!
What times did you run?? And does your car go down the track stright?
