This build is coming along nicely. Some fantastic fab work taking place here.
Keep us posted.

I got most of the tin work and dash mocked up. Next I'll turn my attention to the front steering so I can locate the steering wheel and permanently attach the drivers compartment.

Nice fit and fab on the cage Third, Well Done.   That multi-bend rear hoop is not the easiest to do but you hammered it.  Keep going, you're nailing it.

  I concur with what Lefty said......halos and the rear hoop are two most difficult pieces to make with a scratch built cage...I've screwed up more than I'm willing to admit.   Everything looks like its right where its suppose to be with the chassis ,cage and interior.

It was suggested in another thread on this forum that around 80/81 these cars used rack and pinion steering.  I worked on the rack and pinion conversion this weekend as well as the coil over shocks. I cut out the steering on the NASCAR kit and used the steering from an AMT Phantom Vicky. NASCAR shocks were used a base for the coilovers. Slight modification was done to the upper A arm area of the NASCAR front clip to make room for the coilovers and a small bracket was fabricated and  to the roll cage to attach the shock.

I have started to get back into this one after it sat a while. I've got the front coilovers mocked up and the rear end with shock mounts added. I'm working on the front spindles now. Next step is to get it on 4 wheels and check the ride height as well as figuring out the body mounting points.

Oh yea....looking good TG.
