What are the plans for drivetrain maint? Seems like those bars are going to be a pain in someones arse....

The center bar is removable. With that removed and the fact that the inner fenders will not be installed, access will be no problem.

Very impressive Brian:hail: ,can't wait to see this one completed,hope to see you run @ Marina which is 1.5 miles from my home.

I wondered but wasn't sure.... It looked like it was a removeable piece but the more I looked @ the ends I thought they might be welded. Slick build!

Here is a better photo to show the removable bar. If you look where it attaches to the forward bars down the small pipe, you can see the top of the bolt that holds it on.

Do you have any update/photos w/ the front fenders installed? I'm dying to see how those monster meats fit in the fender well.

I wish! Not there yet. Maybe in about a month or so. I have the panels but we will be doing the flares and body work once all the structure and suspension is completed. Mike Maier at Maier Racing is working on the final front and rear suspension and aluminum paneling now. Lots of small details. I will post photos all the way through the build process.

AWSOME!! thats about all I can say..Im really digging the fact that you want to make it some what streetable!

Growing up in the 70's and watching my Dad autocross a 74 Camaro and then this 72 Z28, I always wanted one of my own. Here is a photo of the car I grew up with but never got to drive as my Dad sold it and purchased the 65 Corvette we currently race. This photo was from about 1978 - 1980. Street car during the week and race car on the weekends. Notice the trailer in the back that he would haul the race tires in to get to the event. Those are 15" x 10" wheels with Goodyear slicks. A little over 13" of rubber on each corner.

My car will not be this color combo, but it will have the same rally stripes combined to one stripe on over the roof as tribute to this car. Plus I think it looks cool.

^^^Very cool! I have a 70 RS and love the look of your dads old car. Great work on yours so far, thanks for posting so much detail. Keep it coming!!:thumbsup:
