To answer your question, since the other thread was locked.........The GTX has an appointment in the chassis shop in the next couple months to get a few things done and make a roller out of it. 98% of the chassis is finished, only lacking some finish welding and finishing the front suspension. At the time of the last chassis work, it was being done for Outlaw 10.5 and the front suspension rules were much tighter then. Since rules have changed, plus I have no desire to really "class" race, the front suspension is being changed. Still has stock rails, firewall and a-arms, but will be greatly simplified. The tin is done, but may change that to carbon. Also going to do some more cutting on the body, as the goal now is "light as possible". All the factory door jambs and roof bracing will get the axe now. It will strictly be a GTX "skin". I had made the steel front nose a one piece liftoff, but that is being shelved for a glass nose as well as glass doors.

The Mark Williams 9" setup will remain of course and the trans will be a 2-speed Turbo 400 with a 1.48 low gear. Engine?...........well............we have an idea of what we plan to put in it to start, but I ain't mentioning that here.

We do have a specific purpose for the car in mind and it needs to be light. Hope to get it under 2600 race ready with me loaded up.

Hopefully it will be making some hits in the spring.

Monte looking to get on the list

Seriously glad to hear you plan to get her back out there again.

Can't wait to see it out!!

I have a feeling this will be a game changer for the way people do fast mopars. Can'twait to ssee the finished product.... or even the current state

Good luck with the build Monte. The other thread was too far gone to clean up. Sorry. I am looking forward to your results.

Thanks for all the quality info you post Monte

Good luck Monte : I hope you stay with a Mopar motor but either way I know it will be a mean car.

Out of interest Monte, could you tell us more about the 451 that was in it and do you still have it. ?

I vote for a BAE Hemi with twin 88s

...still waiting for the "where is it now/barn find" photo.

Can't wait to see the final product! I remember Monte mentioning a little while back on fastmopar.com about getting it back out

Whatever the situation calls for is what tire will be used. The chassis will hold a big tire, so I can put anything from a 29.5 on it to a 17x33.

No BAE and twins here.......just NOT a turbo guy

Where you getting the chassis worked on? I want to see what it would take to get a sway bar in mine short of carrying it to Mooresville.

Edit: That would be Mooresville, NC where Todd Bevis, who built my Demon, works. He is also having chassis seminars. The next one is Aug 8th in Philly.

I want to see one of these get done here in the southeast. Anyone else interested?

This is great news Monte and had that issue w/you on the cover years ago thinking DAMN that`s one bad MOPAR. Good luck............

Monte moving up the list = awesome

I can see it now, Monte looking up into his rearview mirror to see a certain Sonoma truck!

Thanx Monte for the update. What ever became of the B1TS motor? Will that play any part in the new mill?
