The story starts approx 5 years ago when I bought this car as a bare shell with nothing other than a 12 pt cage installed. I started to build it then got the itch to do a backhalf car so I sold this one. It then bounced around to a couple other guys and eventually made it way back home to me 2yrs later w/ quite a few parts added than what I started with and to top it off I got it for what I originally sold it for. Anyway I ended up gutting it again and starting from scratch here is my progress. I did aquire a nice notchback w/ a 429/c4 combo before I bought this car back but I wrecked it on its maiden voyage down the track after a ladder bar broke. I sold that car off and kept the drivetrain which now makes its home in this car. This car is a street car as I have wrecked two cars at the track now and the wife says no more racing. Here is a list of the specs followed by pics from the build. Any imput good or bad is welcome.
