Found it on Racing Junk. The kid and his father had a race shop, and got to this point. They then took it to several SEMA and Mopars at the Strips to show off their work. Tha father passed on, and the car just sat in a corner at Little People RaceCars in California. The owner moved to AZ, and more or less forgot about his high school cruiser. I picked it up thinking it was too low priced, it had to be a scam. I had it shipped directly to Andy Leslie of Great Lakes Racecraft, formally Village Motorsports in Grand Rapids, Mi. Here is how it rolled off of the car carrier.

First thing he had to do is remove the bod to see what needed to be done. It was basically an old school ProStock cage. Needed updating badly. So some cutting here and there..






Cut the whole floor out.












Move the engine back ANOTHER 4 inches.







It's getting THE newly freshened up Hemi from my SunroofGTX, a Cope 727 with a Brake, and run some 10.5W's on the rear. I need to find some street tires for the tune of 16" X 15 diameter wheels. Billet Specialties specially built the prototype GTX20 rims for this car. They said the were the only 16" barrel rims they've made. Nice, but can't find street tires for it. Hoosier and M/T won't go the width of 15". Going Beadlocks for the rear. Here are the street rims.









Probably can't use this mint hood. I think the hole thats cut out is too big for an air grabber.



Selling the power rack for a manual. Know anybody ??


Not going to be able to use the radiator support. It is all numbers matching, though

Here is the story Rob wrote when they saw it at Mopars at the Strip in 08 or 09. Mopar Collectors Guide. Heath, the original owner, had a sister that built a twin-turbo Cuda they raced on an aircraft carrier. Remember that issue?

Awesome! Color me jealous.
How exactly is the body attached and held stable to all that tubing?
I can't seem to pick out the mounting points.

Wasn't that car on here a couple/few months ago? The paint looks familar.

-Daty

You know, looking at the pics, I'm not even close to using the AlterKation K member for engine mounting. Do I even need it in there? This is an official build thread for it. Documenting the build by steps.

EDIT--I do need it to mount the rack. But thats it, I think

Not sure what to do. I kind of like the black primer design.If we go B5 Blue, it would look strange with all of the lettering/sponsor logo's on it. Eventually, it'll have twin 76mm Bullseye's and a Lenco in it. After I learn it's mannerisms. Putting twin coilpack 2nd Gen Hemi in it. A testbed for our NHRA Top Fuel Ignition system. Spear-headed by Lance at Pantera Engineering. We will be using the exact same coilpacks that we will offer for T/F guys.

In the pics you posted, there isn't an AlterKtion
K frame.

You've been busy Rick
What's going on with the Sunroof GTX?
Jim

That thing gonna look funny with polyglas tires


I cant wait hurry up and finish !

Very cool car, and answered a question for me! I live near this shop, drove by the building yesterday and was wondering what was going on with the building since Village Motorsports moved across the street. It is neat to see how these commercial buildings get reinvented, Village Motor sports is a cylce dealership and moved across the street into a bowling alley, where they left a bowling lane in tact in the middle of their showroom.

ject.
Where I can find a blueprint for a chassis like this???

No idea on the blueprint. I think chassis-builders just know how to do it, and adjust accordingly for different bodies.

improvise

Really fighting with what to do with the body color. It will have lettering on it for the sponsors. Thinking all B5

Drop it off and I'll pay gas to the shop in MD and give ya a grand for finders fee. I want to make sure youz guyz have a nice Christmas. LOL... C
