Looking good :)

I've been thinking about building a new chassis for mine next winter, but every time I look at pics like this it reminds me how much work goes into building one from scratch...

The car looks good.
Is there enough clearance to get that distributor out?
well rock, it's a trick! you hafta take the cap and rotor off to do it, but it can be done! (dad's car is the same way) that's the price you pay for putting the motor that far back :lol: i think it's either 5 or 6 " behind spindle c/l....

thanks for the kind words guys, i can't wait to try my hand at this, i have been watching and tuning for too long, time for ME to light up those tires 8)
