So Bob, now that you've done a 25.5 A body, what is the ball park figure someone would be looking at to do one assuming there wasn't any sort of roll bar in there already. Also, let's say I have 2x3 through the floor frame connectors in the car already, do they need to come out and changed to round tube or can they be retained?

I'm not looking for a quote ( to broke right now anyway )but just some knowledge for possible future plans.

Thanks

Looks awesome!

only way it looks like it will be at Norwalk is if Joe is coming this year to help out the NHRA guys so he can cert. the cage

where did you get the hood from ?

---

The bigger question Bill, is where did the fenders come from. They used to be in your shed.

I bought the car from a guy in Va. He decided he wanted to keep the 360 out of it. Would love to see some old pics, he said it had a storied past.

What is that part for.

Quote:

lower strut rod supports.

---

very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me likey alot

cant wait to check it out in person, looks sweet done with the wicker and struts installed

Quote:

---

I'm going to have to stop and look at that thing again.
Besides, it'll be "wing night" @ Jays.

---

Is that an invitation?

Quote:

---

i think i will do the bumpers body color when i spray the trunk lid.

but not sure on the wing ?
i planned on powder coating the wing black satin to match the stripes i think leaving it raw alum. look or polish will stand out to much

the inner fenders im thinking of doing them in the black to match the hood and cowl area or powder coat them black wrinkle, also the front spoiler in the black.

im looking for a stealth look with this car instead of polishing ever thing i can like the Demon is

every thing (brackets) i can pull off the engine compartment will be powder coated black wrinkle to match the motor.

---

Go with that Bob

You are on the right track
Bumpers blue
spoiler match stripes
inner fenders match engine




Oh and looks AWESOME Jeff

Jeff,
That's pretty slick looking!
On an unrelated topic,is there enough room to drop the steering column down far enough to clear the studs and remove it with the dash bar in there?
I know you did not build that cage,It just looks like it could be an issue.

Can always cut the studs down, or remove, but if I had to guess it probably has something other than factory mounting under there.

Quote:

---

looks sweet ! just what i wanted
have fun around the oil tank

---

Bob is that to reduce air getting in...just looks nice, tho.

Quote:

---

Man that looks nice! Bob, i thought this was a race car, not a show car???
