Nice. That body style looks good without the front bumper. Might remove mine as well.

I'm thinking that with a Dana, the weight goes up a tad, then it makes up with the lighter coil over suspension up front.
If you have an all steel body with the exception of bumpers and or hood and factoring in that an all aluminum big block motor is about as light as an all iron small block, aluminum passion tranny and a seemingly lightweight bell housing, you'll end up in the 2950 pound range more or less.
Anyway, love the build and I LOVE STICK cars all together.

What will you be running for rear tires on the street?

Light car, big engine, clutch... sounds like a tough combination to actually generate any forward motion under full throttle.

I am not seeing a cage in the pic. Methinks traction might twist the car up pretty good without one.

Very nice looking setup. I might have to come back to the beach for a test ride. Somehow I think your passenger seat might become a popular place soon.
