Holly Crap! I'm surprised you didn't just build a time machine and go back to 1987 and start with a new car too!

Can't wait to see the finished product. updates please.

Thats the plan. It will have Billy Anderson's 7.20 motor in it and be considerably lighter.. plus we have a few more tricks up our sleeves.

Hrm.. We actually already have the struts I think.. Im not sure.. We picked them up before we decided to sh!tcan the crappy Cory Day chassis. When Im down at the shop, Ill look and see.. Im not sure what ended up getting ordered.

We're building the chassis to accommodate and handle a twin turbo BBC so there's no junk going in it.

Dual engine mounts FTW

Ill just say that the chassis dude doing this car is phenomenal.. Some of the best work Ive ever seen.. he can build virtually anything and really is doing so with the bare essentials.

Here's a car they were just finishing up.. and the Regal is going to be nicer than this one.

Big things coming.... big things

Yea.. if anyone needs any chassis work or header fabrication before Bowling Green, they could probably squeeze you in. Theyre in NC tho so it might be a haul for most people.
