Default Pro Street to Pro Touring

I can purchase a very nice Pro Street car for a really good price.
The car has a fantastic body, seams, paint, interior glass and is a nice runner. How hard is it to convert normal Pro Street car to a Pro Touring car and is it cheaper to convert a Pro Street car which has been fully tubbed than a stock body car?

Thanks TJ

i say go for it! the only real downfall with them is usually the cages are less that favorable for a street car.

bad penny was a pro-street car before. and i personally wouldn't feel safe driving that car without a helmet on.

We need details. What does it currently have and what exactly are you wanting to do with it?

Default pro street vs pro touring

All

Thanks for the replies.

I'm looking to purchase the car as a roller, install a new LS3 with a 6 speed auto and more than likely do a Ride Tech level 3 system. At this point I'm not sure if I want to do the "air" system or just the coil over. It looks like there is about $2,800 difference and I'm not sure if I can tell the difference as I have ridden with Bret in cars with both systems.

The car will be more of a fun car v. a full "Optima" challange car. However, I still want it to handle like a late model car. I thought about a Morrison full frame but I think it will be out of my price range as I want to stay in 45K to 50K range.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
