Default planning on getting a g-body

As for the car, 8.50 cert cage, tie all the suspension mounting points to cage in the rear, plate all the mounting points up, rear end, front suspension, all that too. Depending where you are located, there's a slew of chassis shops around, go to your local track and look around at cars... You see one done that impresses you ask who built it.

If you're looking for someone affiliated with here, and can send the car to Texas call Madman, if Illinois area is closer, Burkhart, either would be your best bet for a quality build and a working car in a reasonable about of time.

A lot of what you will end up with, is budget orientated so start doing some research on costs and what you want.... That's going to dictate alot
