All cars are welcome, especially those being made to handle and stop better (i.e. pro-touring). Looks like a cool project, keep us updated.

A friend of mine built one of those, didn't think it was anything special. Then he took me for a ride :3gears: OMG he put a very modified Grand National drivetrain in it. the car is scary fast and handles like a go-kart. ran a 11.20 at 125mph with street tires.

Looking good. I would be a little concerned about frame rigidity with those thin frame rails and no bracing. Are you doing multiple point tie-in's on the frame with a cage? If not a double frame rail may be a good idea...
Would hate for you to get out and have a ton of body flex after all that work.
Just trying to help out.~Ryan

Yah you bet.. It will be very rigid when it is done.
its just at its minimal, in order to get it all positioned and mocked up.
I've got about 1500 feet of 1.5" round tube in stock, a hydraulic tube bender and a tig welder just waiting to stick her all together.

That's so cool. Will you widen the body? or flare the fenders?

I dont want it to look like added flares, but all the work will be done in the fender area outside of the top crease
