Fellas -

I'm in need of some help with a stalled project - a 71 Javelin street/road race project. It's been sitting in storage for the past 2 years; I'm active duty Army and have been stationed in Korea. Moving to Italy (Naples) this summer; will be there for 2-3 years. Plan to bring the car with me; have an extensive tool collection and will have a place to work on it, but this is my first road race car build and I'm in need of advice and guidance with piecing it all together.

I don't have a license for wheel to wheel racing and I'm not ready for it yet, but thought I would build something that would be legal (or close to it) for NASA American Iron. Also want it to be street legal, but I really do not need any creature comforts - don't need carpet, A/C, heater, radio, or anything like that.

Here's where I am:

Started off with a rust free low mile California 1971 Javelin.

Full cage by Piper Motorsports in Sterling, VA.

Added a NASCAR type full floater 9" with a TrueTrac diff and 1* negative camber from Speedway Engineering. It sits on custom fiberglass leaf springs.

Front suspension is mostly stock, but plan to run coil overs with boxed LCA's, have stock UCA's now but will probably custom adjustable UCA's.

I built a pump gas friendly 401 with a wet sump road race pan, custom flat tappet cam, aluminum heads - close to 500 hp.

Transmission is a T10 close ratio 4 sp. Lakewood bell housing. Dual disc clutch.

Wilwoods front (13") and rear (11.75").

I'm looking for help nailing down a general plan on what to attack in what order. Then I'll need some fabrication advice on how to make that happen. Right now, I really don't need something that's optimized. I'm looking for simplicity and function. I can upgrade at a later date.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks!

Scott
