The sub frame was sandblasted and sprayed with krylon semi gloss...... I happened to have 1/2 gallon of POR 15 lying around when I cleaned the firewall and underside so I gave that 2 coats then covered with the krylon. I want everything easy and cheap to touch up.

Awesome build! I would put a McLeod Softloc in it. People will say other clutches are faster, but the McLeod is very tunable and works great. I have a different combo, but we've run 9.65@135 with a McLeod 10" clutch.

Thanks!!
McLeod is the plan.

Hopefully heading to the chassis shop this weekend.

This October I will have owned the car for 20 years. Hopefully I can have it out for the Dutch

After a lot of curse words I was able to get the headliner installed. The front came out decent but the back, well I have some more tweaking to do. I ran out of time before my chassis guy picked it up.

My original plan was to over cage the car a bit. Installed the inner fenders and radiator support so he could run the bars through the firewall.
First time it's seen the sun in 4/5 years.

And...... it's gone.

Hopefully in about a month I'll have good things to say about a new shop opening up in MA.

It was brought up we need to name the car.
My girl said since I've been spending so much time with it, Spending all my money on it and sneaking out at night to work on it....... it's now dubbed THE MISTRESS
