I am just busting your *****. She knows I love welding and building **** so she got them unwelded and I think they were 200-250 cheaper that way. I ended up changing the upper mount and got rod of the fixed deal.

I still need to decide if I am going to use something from POR15 or VHT chassis paint.

I got a bunch of stuff done today and have some pics.... Got the rear end out and cleaned up, notched the back brace and got the wheelie bar mounts tack'd into place. Also welded the roof back on so I can get the factory floor put back in. My math is alittle rusty....What is a 4.70et @ 164 - 300# + 250hp

The car will be done by the 15th of next month. Maybe some small weight reduction but its close. I feel confident we can run as fast if not faster.

That would be sick to see you run that fast with a smallblock/single turbo. Nothing against Wolfe at all, but he ran that .47 with a bigblock/twins. Good luck Phil !!
