Here is the basic draft for the design concept that Greg Z Designs is making for me.

Thanks Greg!

Tom

Tom, is that a VFN or Joe Van O hood you plan to put on?

 

[COOKIE MONSTER]

Nevermind. I just saw post 78...

Very cool build. Can't wait to see it making passes.

It would be even cooler in the correct forum

Just out of curiosity, what does a car like that cost (parts/labor) by the time its track ready? I've seen frame of restos/mild builds cost upwards of 25k. That's gotta be 70k... 80k? 100k?

More like $200K+ for a complete build.

rollers like that could run from 90-200K easily.

Good lord! I couldn't justify that kind of coin on a car to go in a straight line and trailer it everywhere. I'd much rather have a garage full of dirt bikes, snowmobiles, a 10 second street car, and more

I understand that. Truthfully, I don't get the general American obsession with drag racing period. I have a lot more fun going around a track. Must be my European heritage coming out in me. :gr_jest:

If you have ever been in a car that runs single digit numbers you'd understand. It is a very impressive feeling of acceleration. It's like crack.

Should be on the ground soon and off to paint! Madman delivered on some front suspension stuff so thanks to Brian for that!

BMR also delivered on everything I need to get the back half finalized now too. Thanks to Lee, pics will be coming shortly.

The front nose is coming along nicely. All the front license plate outline will be filled and smoothed out. The stock fog lights will also be molded in.

Thanks all!!

Everytime I see progress pics I keep thinking to myself someone has spent alot of time reading the rule book.

Car is looking sweet Tom! I can't wait to watch it bust passes on friday nights!

Money Shot

Tom, and the Stenod Boyz: Congrats on the build up.

That last shot, reminds me of Grade 12 and "Hiedi the Hoover" a lovely young german girl who was ahhh... let's say well known!
