Awesome project! Where did you buy the rocker panels? Do they fit nicely?

aussiebj 12-17-2008 02:45 PM

The rocker panels came from Mustangs Unlimited and if i had to do it again i would just buy the complete rocker replacement section instead of putting it together in three pieces...and they fit good....

Barry - here is a link to a website where I documented the tube chassis build. It is a free geocities site so after you look at a few pages it wants to shut down, so you may have to go to it a few times with a break in between.

It is a full tube chassis car, stock section of car as the center chunk, 353 cube de-stroked 400 Chevy 525HP/438ft-lbs on the engine dyno, and I just installed a sequential shift full race 4spd transaxle. My friend is on his way to weld in some brackets for me as I type. 2587lbs with the dry sump, two monster oil coolers, etc etc so she is heavy for a 914 but light for a typical V8 race car.

thanks! here is a link to my YouTube channel. One of my vids was pulled yesterday actually due to copyright issues (I was using snippets of music and apparently somebody figured out I was using a 10 second segment of their song :rolleyes: and shut it down). I will try to get that one back up since it shows me rolling hard on a few cars to give you an idea of relative acceleration v. other cars.

In the meantime my channel has a couple vids still up of the car on the track and one drag racing which is futile in a road race car but makes for a fun time with friends.

yeah, that site is junk. I need to just get in gear and get my own .com and make a site from scratch that works all the time.
