Parts and kits rolling in now. Trans tunnel work this week.
Another "addition" to build is Magnumforce tubular K-member (double adj) coil over and rack-and-pinion kit. And maybe GearVendor. No joke when they say take your estimated budget and double it. Lol
We'll get some pics the end of next week when we return home.

Thanks guys!
Especially with going to Magnumforce k-member it frees up lots of alternatives for exhaust. Watching Brad's thread, with his construct (and pics from someone else ... sorry forget name but its on page 3) .. we could go down with some and through fenderwell with some others .... we also thought about putting the collector up high just before all bend down into fenderwell ... thing with new k-member is we need to reinforce shock tower .. so lose space here and gain it there .. lol
Biggest concern is steering. Car initially had full fender well headers and 24 inch front tires. We'd like to go to 26 on front.
How is steering on yours and what size tires? Thanks
In end I guess it wil be mock up and see ... lol

small wheel house , you'd be pushing the suspension forward maybe , no tbars to connect . just some rework of the steering , but that going to happen with mags kit . get the motor set back that the dragger were chasing , they pushed it forward . two inches would make a dart wheel base 110'' .

A race car with a passenger seat?
I am in need of rewiring my race car as well and noticed the pic of the relay panel under the dash on the tunnel that you did. Would you mind posting or PMing a larger image of just that panel? I am trying to come up with a plan for mine. Nice work on your ride! Thanks. L8r -
