180 HP? MKIII turbo cars were 230+ right out of the box. I ran one with a 7M at 630+ at race tracks with no problems. Just put a gear driven diff in it and delrin bushings. The only real problem is they need to have the lower locating track arms replaced because they bend.

Oh you mean with your engine. Yeah you won't have any problems there. The front steering shock can be left off. Toyota ditched it from 89 on as it did not really do anything.

Thanks!
The dash currently is original, though it will be thoroughly reworked before it is complete.

Nice fab work and cool project. I seen a few of these cars at the 28th st. cruse in Grand Rapids MI. nice cars but nothing like yours will be. I like the fact that you made the muffler I am planing on making Nascar style mufflers for my car that exit in front of the rear wheels.

Travis - Sorry, Im just a guest on this one, but I love the Pantograph you made (or I assume you made it). Could you post some pictures of it and maybe some details on its design? It appears that you've come up with a system to trace the item with a ?nail? above the cutting surface so that its easier for you to manipulate. I'd love to see more about it.

Stripping the paint and getting things positioned to get the look I want...
cutting the roof down a bit here...
I am using stock glass.. except I am eliminating the trim and rubber seal.. the edge of the body will be reworked a little bit to bring the finished painted edge to a 3/16" gap to the glass.. and then the glass edge is polished, the first inch of glass will get black matrix paint on the inside so you can't see the glue, and then the glass is urethaned in.. the glass is then flush and smooth with the body.. just like how new cars are done... the one that comes to mind off hand is the back quarter glass on the new mustangs.. if you start looking at new cars you'll see what I mean..
The roof is cut 1/2" down and moved a 1/4" back in the back to give the right distance from top to bottom for the glass... and the front it dropped 1 1/2" roughly in the front and it went back with the arc and the fact that it was moved back as well.. this gives me the lay back and the proper gaps top and bottom for the front glass.. the arc of the glass and the stock opening don't quite stay paralell in the front though, so it will be made to fit with sheet metal. and the sides filled in.. in addition I have to build up a ledge for the glass to get glued to, at the proper height to make it flush.
The back quarter glass will work it just won't have to wind all the way up in order to meet the rubber.. the door glass will have to be ground down to fit... VERY carefully mind you, as it is tempered... I found the best way it with a flap wheel grinding disk on a grinder.. takes a long time but it works without shattering it..
Anyone have a better method??
