Yeah thats a sweet car. Its looks like a 1983 Crimmson Cat. It doesn't look like the original motor either? I would like to see some side pic's of it to see how those Cobra Wheels look on it.

Have been working on a rear seat delete, I took out my 27lb seat and reinstalled about 10lbs of aluminum, I used 12foot of 1 1/4" X 1 1/4" thinwall aluminum tubing and a 48"X60" piece of light weight aluminum sheeting(I forget what gauge)LOL, The sheeting will be installed when I am done welding the cage permanetly. The hatch's are the back's from the original seats, The interior plastic has to be cut from the top of the arm rest down to accomadate the seat delete. more pictures tomorrow,
