I guess I could always say the damn chassis builders didn't give me a clue on what I got from them!!! SORRY it will not happen again.

I don't care what they say about you. You are the Man

On this car the VIN is located in the front of drivers door jamb between the hinges.. Other cars we just try and get it close to where is was originally located.

Please dont take it that way We do not want people thinking that its Mustang II geometry, our appologies if it sounded like you were "in trouble" LOL. Killer project, looks like everything is going great.

OH !!!! congrats on the twins

Thanks Heidts, Glad not to be in trouble with you, now I just have to work on Phil but that will be a uphill battle. One question for you? On the Speedway swaybar we noticed yesterday that it had rubber bushings as in the past they were copper or delrin. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to that?

Travis where at you at with your project? Are you putting a chassis under it?
I almost felt it was a no brainer once I started weighting the pros and cons.

Ok I'm aware of the vin tag on the drivers door jam, what I'm asking (had I said it correctly) is what do you do with the trim tag that is on the firewall? Does it become a non issue for builds of this caliber?

That is a nice looking frame... we have 2 roadster shop frames in our shop right now.

nice sheetmetal work inside looks good. Im gonna keep an eye on this one haha.

PM sent about my car

The trim tags is removed but the VIN tag is the one that has to be their if it to be driven on the street.you have to have it to cross STATE LINE.
