That really is awesome. Ive always loved the underdog, and that's so cool for a Pinto.
The only thing I question is the Jag rear. Besides holding up to the power youre looking at, I wonder about the brake set up. The inboard brakes are cool for rods, but I question them for autocross abuse. And those driveshafts are really skinny... But you'll probably break traction before you break a shaft.
More pics please.
Oh, and being in L.A., I would love to see this thing someday.

As far as the Half Shafts go, I will be making some little driveshafts using some heavy duty 4 wheel drive u joints.

I know drag style starts will not be on the menu. Its the same set up that they used on the original AC Cobras. There should be very little weight on the rear of the car so I am hoping the IRS will help in that department.
