The doors front end and trunk are from frank, the new style front end is huge and i cant wait to see it mounted. As for a hot rod car i wish. Its more of just a fun car and one year when i have the cash i will try to compete. For now we race a N/A 605 in a tube chassis camaro. Talk power!

I think it would be cool to take it into the low 10's or high 9's with motor and nitrous. It would be diffrent

looks good OP i wish i had the time/funds/space to do somthing like that.

kind of dumb question but whats the point of a wheelie-bar on a FWD car? is it to kill the wheel hop?

the wheelie bar is like a traction bar when i goes to squat it will hit the bars then transfer the weight back to the front. should any ways, the only thing that sucks is the the track i race at with the wheelie bars i dont think i can back all the way into the water box
