What are your projected GVW differences? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

GVW, gross vehicle weight? As in weight distribution? or the difference between my original goal weight and likely actual?
Weight distribution surely isnt great now but there are more componets i need to install forward of the cg than behind it. I can lift the front of the chassis in a dead lift kinda way as it sits. but the ride height being so high in the front makes it easier too. I figure 45% front is realistic. The best thing here though, is mass centralization as most weight is between the axles. Total weight i still believe 1800 is the number. as far as things go it will be lacking lots of regular things and if i put it on a diet with loads of fiberglass 1700s is possible.

Wow! That ought to go like a scalded ass ape. At such a light weight I'm guessing you're going with big sticky tires. Keep posting your progress. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I do believe 305 or 315 r888’s are what the doctor orders

Body is about to go on! I think im going to try setting it on tomorrow. It drops directly down on to the chassis, and by our backstrain-o-meter we figure i got the body down to about 120 lbs. Its really no problem for two guys but we will see how that goes. Im glad i got this car instead of anyone else because i would NOT want to restore this. It had rust everywhere from hell hole, to driver speaker pod of all places. I was the perfect guy for this car because i kept none of that gross orangy brown stuff.

The Body Is On! ....kinda. i finally got a couple people together to set the body on top. it is neither mounted nor sitting in the right spot. it needs to go forward 2.5” it should fit up very good! obviously there are a couple “visual issues” the strut tops certainly poke through but i think it will just add to the crazy look!

This is an awesome creation, I love it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

You are a fabrication genius!

You have made a lot of progress in a short time.

Forget Gasser - too easy. You need to go full Funny Car and make it so the whole body tilts up.

(Follow me for more great design and fabrication ideas! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )

Seriously, you're making great progress. I hope I get to meet you and see your mad creation some day.

That would be sweet. body should be fairly removable to allow for powder coating anyway. Also i wouldn’t be apposed to a cross country trip for a good meet up but that is a ways off.

Long time no see! racing season is in full swing and i havent been home for more than a couple days at a time. But things have happened; First i bought my engine! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Its an ej25 from iag. Its their stage 2 tuff block. Its a brand new block, sti crank rods, pistons rod bolts. Its been honed and balanced, along with all the good stuff! All in its good for 675hp but it wont see that much... yet. Its a pretty piece and ive already got some goodies for it hiding around here.

Always impressed how much power you can get out of something so small:

Wow! Amazing skills. I really enjoyed the video and the progress of the chassis and body. That motor is going to be epic in that car. Looking forward to seeing more work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Started working on mounting the body, made a rear bumper bar. I took a piece of 1-1/4” tube and slip rolled it to about an inch of deflection so it sat fairly nice under the tail lights. Added tabs and presto! A little job but it came out good. Tomorrow should see loads of work.
