From the looks, its tough to tell, but the e-body appears to have suffered from a lot of rust. No better car to chassis than one that's pretty much on its way out....Besides, I have one that's a little chopped as well, just not as nicely as yours. Good luck and congrats. I saw your previous post on YB or somewhere.

I'd say its enough chassis to give a 500hp eclipse a run for its money
Whats it gonna be powered with?

To me, imports suck hands down....can`t stand em and actually get pissed off when I see or hear em ESPECIALLY at the track. Loud and slow. I know there are some fairly fast ones but, far and few between. Nice choice; what`s it gonna have for a motor, trans rear etc?

I'm not trying to say your friends are stupid...but do they comprehend what kind of monster your building?...if not their going to be in for a rude awakening

Don't worry...that 500hp Eclipse will be chucking drivetrain parts any day now...
Do a solid build (sounds like you are) and you'll have NO problem with 99.999% of the idiots with even the 700hp dyno-queens.
Sweet car!

I have seen a bunch of so called high HP Imports, usually Dyno queens that put up good numbers, that cant get out of there own way at the track. That engine your building could tow one Import, while cleaning the plow of another down the 1320. Those guys aren't worth argument over, no matter how many times you out run them, they have excuses, empty bottle, missed a gear, spun the tires etc..
They put $20K into the Fart boxes, Big radio's, light packages froma UFO. Only to figure out the wont stay together, and are still slow, were a healthy small block in a moderate sized car are Both more reliable, and quicker.
Nice build man.

i dont waste my time racin those little fert pipes,its a no win situation,if you beat em then you hear,:well its only a 6 banger" and by some odd chance they beat you then its like "man,i just wuped your big V8 with my 6 bange r" then after that theres the assault charges,anger managment classes ,fines, well you know what i mean.

I feel ya I'm 26 and have never given two farts for those turds. They were made for one thing, gas mileage and then some goobers see them in a movie and all of a sudden they are performance cars. GOODNIGHT!
Sweet e-body man keep at it.

Dont race them... unless it is for money
Their excuses will seem even weak to them as they pay you

Lol I know exactly what you are talking about. Around here it's all imports and mustangs. I'm 20 and most of the boys my age love their imports, but as a girl I am much smarter than those dumb boys

nice choice-- but have you driven something like this?
especially if its getting a turbo.
take it easy !!
PLEASE dont take out that beautiful E body "Fast -Furious style............

I wonder if the OP is the real owner. A guy capable of a project like that is not likely going to intro it with a "beat all imports" theme.
I wonder what kind of fuel delivery he planned to use with the turbo-blow through carb or fuel injection? What management system?
