Default Newest project

Here is some pics of a new project I am building for a guy in Texas. The car is being built to 25.2 specs and we are shooting for 2900lbs race weight.

Those are from AJE but I dont like them. I am looking at building a set with a little more clearance and better materials.

I will get some more pics of the trick radiator and front mount fuel system. We had the car on the ground last nite and the rockers are 4" off the ground. Unless I can find a short oil pan I will probably have to raise the motor up in the car.
