Short-Throw

There really isn't much more they can remove. There are a few items like the trunk mechanism you can see from the straight on shot, and a few wires.

I am now able to lift (realisticly, more like rock) the front end off of the rack.

I carried my stock seats to my truck. I couldn't believe how much they weighed. My guess is I'll shave 80-100 pounds right there.

Here are a few more shots.

Without the clutch and brake pedals, it's tough to even know what you're looking at.










If anybody has any questions, please fire away!

Are you writing a new manual based on a complete teardown and rebuild?

It might have been easier to order a new Vette, and just tell them to put all the parts in a box instead of assembling it?

Just kiddin, good luck with the project.

One cool thing is this process can sure show how much stuff goes into a street car. Well in Mikes case comes out of a street car.

If you ever want to know why so much money. Here it is.

Ha! I brought home one of many boxes today. They weigh more than my car does now!

The cage will be quite secure. I hope it ends up a complete waste of money by never being tested!

I hope you know how to put this car back together.......I've always found it's easy to take a car apart, but getting it back together again.......................well........ .....

vegasdude

2KZ28CAM

Mike, you are just plain nuts, my friend! But, your too far in to stop now!

dgussin1

are you building this to race in a professional series? if not, why go through all of this for a street/track car?

2KZ28CAM

<Removing the Wet Blanket> It won't ever be seen on the street again. It will only see kerbs and pits from here on-in. What does that matter? It's because he wants to, and he CAN.

Short-Throw

Check out all the threads at the top of this page to see the history and why I'm building this.

This car will never see the street again. Why go through it? It will be a race car primarily for my own enjoyment.

How great is it to build a car to your own specs (not just a sanctioning body's limits), drive it how you want to and know that it is built to be as safe as a NASCAR stocker? Plus you can test any parts on it YOU want to.
Way, Way

COOL, but scary. I thought you were talking about Brittany Spears (LOL).

Good Luck.....

For certain, there will be less going back in than came out - that's the whole idea.

Nuff said!

I will need the extra room for all the additional ponies!
