Cut 10 inches out of the chassis to shorten up the wheelbase to help with traction. http://img151.imageshack.us/i/shortened32.jpg/ VL diff is lighter, better gear ratios, easy to convert to disc, allows commodore tailshaft and easier/cheaper to get rims for. Plan is to run 10 second 1/4s for $10,000. So far it owes me less than $3k with a 2005 Ls1, Turbo 350 (that needs rebuilding) and VL diff.

Got the battery mounted in the rear, also mounted the auto cooler out back with an Excel thermo fan mounted on top. Got the rear exhaust tacked together just need some flanges to complete it. Tailshaft should be ready to be picked up tomoro. http://img5.imageshack.us/i/picture29062009.jpg/

Thanx guys. Got a bit of a shoulder injury slowing me down so progress is slow. Managed to get some old 275/60 x 15's on some chaser rims so I can start mocking up what little tray there will be. http://img91.imageshack.us/i/chuck6809.jpg/

Well, after a bit of a break to let my shoulder heal I;m back into this. Bit of interest lately in the whole 10's for 10k deal with Zoom dedicating a whole issue to the subject. They seemed to make it look easy so I am going to have a shot at 9's for $9k. The car so far owes me about 3500 bucks. Big expenses to come are the rebuilt/strengthn of the Th350, convertor, nitrous and engine harness. I think the whole thing is going to come down to how much the auto/convertor set me back... Tomoro I'll get the rad mounted and get a auto shifter for it.
