Ok well I figured maybe if I post up a build thread it would motivate me to work on the car. So here it is 85' Shelby charger, bolt in cage. It currently needs a lot of work to say the least, needs front floors welded in and basically everything else lol. I haven't decided whether I want to build a hybrid or just stay 8 valve, need some input. Here are the most current pics I have of the car, all of the gfx are off and the interior is gutted now:

not to bad ! be sure to look behind the shock tower , they tend to rust back there ! yours is a easy fix , mine was rotted as he** replaced all the floor pans ...

I say keep it 8v for now Jim! Glad to see you finally have an "L" though :thumb: If you need any parts, just ask and they're yours ;) Lord knows I have plenty haha.

Jim, it's like we go through the same cars! I recently got an '85 SC too, still have the Sundance project also.

I like 8 valve for the SC, but would be fun either way.
