Nobody makes parts for these cars...I guess because they make carbon/fiberglass bodies for Pro Stock? Unless someone knows of a company that does I am unaware of anyone that makes parts for them. Doors would be my best investment right now, they are about 40lb each after ALOT of work...

You definitely are a stickler for attention to detail. I thought vfn or someone made f/g doors.... no interchange with the avenger? Keep us posted.

It was 95 in my garage w/ my(undersized) A/C hammering away. 104 outside. That is one fantastic looking car. It seems you settle for nothing less than perfection. Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
