Dropped the car off yesterday at Straightline. Super friendly all around nice guys. I was there for about 2 hrs. They are going to narrow the rear, put big bearing 9 in. ends on it, add adj. brackets from TRZ or may go with true 4 link brackets for unlimited adjustment. Not sure yet.
Also, it will get a full mini-tub with a set of tubs left over from when MIA was making mailorder stuff and a left over set of through the floor subframe connectors. It is getting a tub front form the strut towers forward and a 10pt with x'd roof and swingouts.

Amazing work and they turn projects around pretty quick without letting bigger projects run over the little guy.

I'm hoping for something along those lines just smaller and much uglier.

Car is currently cut up and awaiting tubs and cage. Should be getting pics soon. Rims are ordered, Holley dominator is in as well. April it should be ready to roll minus the turbo kit, which I will install for the next winter project.

Sounds like it's going to be a solid foundation for when the turbo kit goes on

When the turbo goes on hopefully all the bugs will be worked out. I have some heads that will go to TEA over the summer for a port job and I am having the polish the entire head for some bling

Corbeau Forza in black. They are faded so color is a little light.

Yes it was. I like the looks of the f-body when done right. The fox is definitely cheaper to build and easier to make work if you are wanting to go race. But, they are a dime a dozen here. The fox is still a monster, It should do a 1.19 60ft this year and some 5.teens to 5.0 something in ultra trim driving it when ever and where ever. There are some ideas I will use and some new one. This will be e85 with a nice air to air.Being this is a street car mostly the weight difference isn't that big of a deal. Also, there are some things you want to do differently but didn't. Car will be 100% my project start to finish. I have ideas for the turbo kit. Interior, etc.
