Ah, it doesn't have the lip anymore? If not then I don't need it, sorry.

Made a little progress this weekend, didn't get a bunch of pictures. Doors are welded shut now too.

Girlfriends dad fabbed me up a dash out of sheet metal leftovers

Traced the windshield to a piece of cardboard when I removed it, I just traced the lexan to the cardboard cutout

Painted the front roll bars so we could install the lexan

And got my window net mounted and her dad made a door sill so I don't bend the door up getting in and out this year

Uhhhh ohhhh! Over class rules!!

Comp 400 cam raises compression to roughly 210psi. Stock '01 cam runs around 180psi, only a little over the limit. It should loosen up a little after a few trips around at rev limiter. Pulled the motor and then the head off, cleaned all the valves up. All the cylinders crank fairly close to the same pressures now.

Left side rub rail made as well

Coming together!!

Opened the right rear wheel opening up with Ryan's fender roller

Had a special set of wheels made this year. Hoping to stop breaking front rotors

And I found this pic from last years car, relocated the ecu from heat/getting smashed

This is what it's going to look like. I think I'm gonna lean towards the top design

top design

Turbo2300 · Post by **Turbo2300** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 8:06 pm

Yeah that's probably what it will look like. Sadly I can't keep the srt wing on it, but for now it's gonna be on it just to ruffle feathers

You can't run "factory" wings?

Turbo2300 · Post by **Turbo2300** » Tue Mar 04, 2014 1:13 am

Nope. No wings at all, silly I know. I would like to get them to change that rule, i doubt stock wings help..

Nice work so far. Can't wait to see how you do this year.

I want some of those rub rails for the street

Turbo2300 · Post by **Turbo2300** » Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:21 am

Got some switches in and wired

Tires mounted, control arm extended, and front tubing work begins

And stock fuel filler pipe reused

Front bumper supports pretty much done.

Taurus studs installed finally

Camber is looking spot on, but won't know until I run it to see that it's enough

Everything is for the most part buttoned up in the front, ready to get painted this week. I changed my mind on color- stay tuned!

i dont think i can possibly get enough of this build

Turbo2300 · Post by **Turbo2300** » Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:08 am

Haha I'll get some more pics this weekend for you, as it's a Saturday/Sunday practice. I got some stuff to tidy up yet, then throw it on the dyno for shits, and then blast a few laps. It's gonna look good all assembled, but I have to wait till next week for it to get lettered.

Best part is, I'm fairly sure secret hasn't gotten out it's an R/T lol

stance done right

Turbo2300 · Post by **Turbo2300** » Wed Apr 02, 2014 4:51 pm

Yeah it's got some lol it hangs to the left a little. I lowered it a bunch on the right, but with the springs that are in it, the right side is still higher
