It was a good running car that did consistent 10.20s in a peruvian track that was not the best, so I decided to loose some weight instead of going for a bigger motor. It was hard to make the first cut but after that it only took a couple of days to remove the old rollbar, the complete floor and the old frame. Here's some pictures so you guys can critique my work

Nice work but I have to ask... why didnt you go with round tube(moly) it would have been a lot lighter than the big rectangular ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

Thank you guys for the feedback. Sixpackgut: you're right, it was hard to start cutting the car. What I did first was remove the engine, transmision, rear end, gages etc. things you can remove with tools. Tried to fool myself by thinking that everything could be bolted back. Then I went to the airport to pick up my parts, after that I finally made the decision to make the first cut,the front right compact so there was no turning back. Now that I started building the car back I'm really happy thinking it's going to be a better race car. Mr.P body: you're right, cromoly tubbing is lighter but you need to stress relieve the welds and there is no oven big enough in Peru, that I know of, to do that. Also i'm using square tubbing frame because it is more generic and easier to build. The car was a 2650 and I'm shooting for a 2200 finish without my 220 pounds. About the 8 3/4, she stays. With the 35 axles, spool and the light weight of the car, she will be ok. ![](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/shantalbustamante/SAM_1945.jpg) ![](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/shantalbustamante/SAM_1946.jpg) ![](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/shantalbustamante/SAM_1948.jpg) ![](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/shantalbustamante/SAM_1947.jpg) ![](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/shantalbustamante/SAM_1971.jpg) ![](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/shantalbustamante/SAM_1974.jpg) ![](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/shantalbustamante/SAM_1978.jpg) ![](http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo108/shantalbustamante/SAM_1980.jpg)

It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I would like to do this to my 67 knotch back. Where did you get the goodies for the four link? Going with a full glass front end too?
Cheers Don.
The 2 rear frame rails and the four link kit are from Competition Engineering . The front rails and the rear cross member 3x2 tubbing is local.
