    Car's lookin' awesome Mr. Bono. Nice roll cage and fuel cell! Does the cage go to the front frame too?

    Your tranny looks like a C4. What tranny you going to use?

    Not sure yet on the Tranny. Probably a C4, but maybe a T400 or a glide'. Depends on what my tranny man wants to do. Oh, and if my friends at Continental Converter remembers me...lol

    Yeah, it has j bars that go into the engine compartment...thanks.
    Dan, it looks more pink in the light...thats the only problem...

    Man, I have been away so long, I feel ashamed at posting again...
    lol
    Slight update to the program. I have been working on the sheetmetal for a while. The car should be going into its first stage of primer w/in a week. Haven't figured on a color, but is may be orange. Yeah, orange w/ a black vinyl top, if I can get the crome! It should be going back to the chassis shop w/in two months. 33 spline Strange 9 inch, sub frame connectors, and a few other little things.

    I need to update my sig, because the new combo is aftermarket 302 based block (big), blow thru turbo system, and looking for 800 + hp....

    Its gonna be fun!!!!

    Keep it Coral !! Definitly a head turner. I agree too much white makes it look "pink" but when it's mixed right it looks killer ! Just my :2cents:
