......can I fit in there without a HUGE amount of dickin around? I need a little travel, and a track that is semi common, with a 2.52 pitch.
Before the purists start screaming, it's a $200 beater that had a very long history. Some things, (the engine) were done very, very right. beyond that? well the seat's nice, back of the tub is dinged, right front torque box is warped, and the track is Whacked...(let's see, goin 75, pin it, the speedo hits 105, and you hang on as it dog walks right and slows down).....
What I am trying to do......
I want to put a Quasi-modern rear skid assembly on it. i'm old. In my head, i'm 19, 10 foot tall and bullet proof...however, my 47 year old body get's punched in the face cause it's along for the ride.....
This project may go as far as a custom front suspension. (yes, i'm that stupid) oh and since I build racecars, I'm fairly good at backwoods engineering, and fabrication.. the square tubing hanging out there is beggin for some 21st century engineering, complete with coilovers et al.....
I'm Not tryin to out-do tony 3:16 (kiddin)...I just want a 'pro street' style sled with a little tongue in cheek fun, any maybe surprise a few 'cubic wallet' 'I go real fast cause i wrote a check' wannabees here in the tight woods of Northwestern PA....
Got bored today:
in retrospect, i like the white scale....should have just perled the clear instead of the color, but hey, it was a quickie...like 3 hour quickie.
So, who's got the info?
