At least that car is in good hands now. Keep us posted.

It happens. Just surprised by how much they charged. They even put the quarter panel on wrong and it will have to be cut off and fixed

Me too. This is going to be a cool one. Randy already has a name for the color. We have been playing with colors for a while on this one

I've been waiting on y'all to start the build thread on this one. Another sweet chassis from Chris and the boys at SRG. I agree...that color is so sick.

It is time to see how this body fits the chassis.


Cut out a "little" section. It will be getting a new floor and trunk, but this will allow us to trim it outside the car to know exactly where the cuts need to be made.

It fits like a glove !!!


Borrowed some wheels from Meenaggie just to get it into place


Added the front sheetmetal so we could really see how low this thing is


Still waiting on Body bushings so we can bolt it down correctly. We also ordered two doors, a fender, a new trunk lid. All the pieces are going to be sent over to Painthouse along with the car. Randy is going to line everything up 100% and put it all in etching primer. Then it will come back to our shop so we can start all the custom stuff including body mods, new floor, and tubs. Also going to be mocking up the tires so we can get the wheels ordered.

That huge hole in the back is screaming for the 15 inch wide wheels you have planned . . . Actually making the 11 inch wide wheels look a bit narrow which is hard to believe. Looks like the rear suspension was set up for tons of wheel clearance.

When we started planning the build, our goal was a 20x15. The guys over at SRG did an amazing job on the chassis.
