Car still has its full interior gauges, controls, power windows and period correct Pioneer Super tuner. Only missing stock seats as they dont fit with cage. Front end is all factory, steering box, control arms etc. Rear is a drop out 12 bolt with a short ladder bar. Penske shocks all around, anti roll bar, 7.50 cage. We run a 29.5x10.5 bias slick. Engine is a 416" Little Chief single 4 bbl backed by a Proflite trans. The majority of the chassis work has been done by Gary Hansen in Socal.
Ill try to remember to get some pics of it next time we have it out. Which is a few weeks from now. Were supposed to race this past weekend but weather cancelled the deal.
Here is a link to an older article about the car. Alot hasd changed since this was done but gives some history

Thanks for the link and info. A couple of questions. I'm gonna start building my 82 Corvette and looking for some ideas. The class that I want to run local to me dose NOT allow 4 links or wheelie bars. I have considered the Caltrac set up because it can act & adjust close to a 4 link setup. Or Chassis Engineering Outlaw 32" ladder bars. A ladder bar will make this car wheel-stand real bad. Have the rear frame rails been moved or notched? How wide is the Ford 9" and what are the rear wheels specs? I want to start gathering parts, rear axle, rear wheels, etc.
Thanks Again,
Ron
