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
 NO DOUBT YOU GOING THE CORRECT WAY, PLUS I KNOW HOW TO DO MY PATIO CONCRETE NOW.

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

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.

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.
