CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - I am considering my most ambitious project to date

The setup/history. In 1981 I bought as a roller, from Gary Harwood, his first super gas, super pro roadster. I completed it in about 5 months, and it was the first Harwood roadster to make it to the track, and I won super pro the first time out.

The roadster suited me perfectly and was a constant round winner. It ran 9.60's with a relatively mild [by today's standards] 355 SBC.

Today, 41 years later, I have the idea build a duplicate of the car. I am in the process of reaching out to several fellows who worked for Harwood in those days. [Including Tod Bevis] It is my hope someone may have the original plans for the chassis.

I do have a folder of photos that show much of the details. It might be possible to create a chassis dimension drawing from the photos.

Two questions.

*Have any of you built a similar chassis?
*Do any of you have plans for a similar chassis?

The follow photo is an eaxmple.
