Ok well heres my new car's build thread, and im only going to write this once so read carefully So in my new found love for actually competivly drag racing it has dawn on me that I'm too heavy and under powered for the class that I run in so thats where the new car comes in. Last year I went fast enough where my 8pt. roll bar wasn't enough and I didn't want to add bars to the already heavy .120 wall mild steel and cutting it out seemed like too much of a pain. So thats where this car comes into play a fresh start, well a freshish start with alittle cancer.... Now I'm doing this becaues I can so I dont want to hear anything from anyone about a waste etc. and this is the last time I drasticly change a cavailer I barely have enough time to finish this one... so thats the story build it better lighter and faster is what this car is all about...


on with the pics
















































R.I.P. Brian Klocke, you will never be forgotten

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

SUBSCRIBED and anticipating.

hahahaha. that 4X4 sticker makes me chuckle every time.

roll cage looks WAY better and stronger. great job man.

whats the goal weight?



180hp in 1989 or 145hp in 2002, you decide. >

Fetter... everything you touch turns to gold. Good luck on the build, can't wait to see it done.

Just so I'm clear...

Is this a whole separate build? (keeping both?)

or are you starting with this, and moving some of that over to this?

i guess i did forget some details...lol this is a separate car from the gunmetal car, what is going to end up happening is the gunmetal car is losing the doors, fenders, hood etc. etc, so all i have to do is paint this shell gunmetal and slap the rest of the parts on and im done. as for the other car its future is unknown...

god damn. love it.

I would KILL to have a 1/4 of your talent!!!!!.

Love it all, love it all. The header for side mount looks pretty much amazing. did you take any firewall pics? not that many would notice it but i think that in itself was an accomplishment.

cant want to see it all together as one piece. and I do love me some chromoly! were you going with kirky seats too?

So this is why you were selling off all your turbo stuff?
Love it mn. What size turbo is that? This car getting the engine/tranny from the gunmetal car?

Awesome stuff. Your posts are a reason I still lurk around on here.

Good luck and keep us updated!

car is lookin good man!

So nice, and can not wait to see it done.

yea i was selling to buy the new replacement parts the plan was to just show up at the bash and see if anyone could figure it out lol but since im way behind ill be happy to get everything done by the end of the year, the header wont work with factory setup you'll see what im talking about once i get past the body work phase and into fab. the motor is making its way into this car but the trans is getting ripped apart to see if i can find the issue it has and taking the diff out and putting it in a good trans. no kirky seat/seats those are alittle too straight racecar for me and thats not what i want, i have sparco pro2000s. i hope when all done this car weights in at 2500lbs, which would be 225lb lighter than the old car.
