Put some work in today in prepping the front sheetmetal. The goal is a one piece hinged front end. I removed most of the sheetmetal brace from the underside of the hood. I'll be using fiberglass to...

We finally got the car out of storage. I'll be moving more tools and equipment over to my brothers house tomorrow, and I'll start on the bodywork if nothing else.

I'm hoping for better than 12s myself lol! I'm just keeping my estimates on ETs conservative, due to using factory stock parts. Using urethane sounds like a great idea. I don't have much for spare...

No updates as of yet. My living conditions had drastically changed for the worst there for a while, and I had to put the car in a 10x12 storage unit. We finally were able to move into an actual house...

It has been a lot of work, but its been worth it to me :). So far, the costs on the car are only around $1500, which includes the initial cost of the car. It will be a unique vehicle, thats for sure!

Frame nearly fully welded in with body mounts all welded in. Only need to fab up a rear reinforcement brace for the drivers side at the back of the frame rails and weld on caps for the open ends of...

Frame rails set up in the car and tack-welded to the rear crossmember.

I decided to cut the floor out of the car. It will make mounting the framerails a bunch easier.

I ended up...

I've got more 2x3 steel tubing coming on Monday night. In the meantime, I'm gonna make preps on the car over the weekend to get it to fit properly. A bunch of near-future progress hinges on the frame...

Spacing is 24", and I'm gonna fab a track locator bar for the rear axle.

Pic of both tires installed. I can tell ya now I'm gonna need to make some fender flares to fit a 15" wide tread tire.

After some trimming, I was able to fit a set of 235/75/15 tires on the car. The car sure looks different with bigger wheels and tires on it.

I was finally able to get a bit more done to the car, due to warmer weather in my neck of the woods. I have a tendency to hibernate during the winter lol! I finally finished the full-circumference...

Stock cut-off axles mounted in the housing. I'll get these axles resplined.

I needed a clean method of holding 1/8" Lexan plastic to the rear doors in place of the window glass. What I came up with is cutting off some sheetmetal from an old Chevy truck fender and welding in...

Thank you Reaper1, and thank you to the rest of you for your support!

I built it, using 2x3 rectangular steel tubing.

Oh yes indeed I will.

No Chip Foose team here lol! The pics posted are from Sept. to Dec. My goal is to have this car running with full frame and rollcage by Sept. 1 2015. Drivetrain can be completely factory stock,...

I decided to gut the rear doors. The rear seating area is gonna be pretty much taken over with frame and rollcage anyway. Rear door glass and rear hatch glass will be replaced with 1/8" Lexan...

Finished cutting out the rest of the firewall.

My goal is around 2500 lbs. I have the rear subframe welded in, and it looks like I'll be able to fit 14" wide tread tires underneath.

I myself have been dying to that TT LT1 Omni in action. Wish...
