Looks like a 'weekend warrior': Drive it to work during the week, drag it on Friday night.

Actually, it looks too nice to drive every day. Nice job Donnie.

That's a "Wink" full-width mirror like they used to use in NASCAR.

Right on! I get to meet 'The Guy"!
Yes, the tires do hit the wheel openings-quite hard on the front. The pics on the www. were the "before" shots. I had to cut wedge shaped pieces from the front of the(fiberglass) fenders so there was clearance enough for steering. I'm gonna have to put some flares on the front though-pretty hard contact over bumps and hard braking... no biggie.
As far as the strut brace-me and a buddy fabbed it at his shop. It's 6061 aluminum with threaded ends with brass pipe plugs. Took about 4 hours all said and done.
I wanted something that looked like it was strong.Probably a little overkill, but what the heck?
I added the cage to the car for stiffness-it's only a four point. Looks cool too. I built the car for the street mainly-but it'll probably find it's way to the dragstrip sometime soon.

I'm planning on going to Blue Lake. Wouldn't want to miss seeing another 2-dr sedan.

Actually, the whole reason I took her out for the shakedown run was to get it prepared for the Blue lake meet!
I'm helping a buddy of mine with 320 and 610 pick-ups so he can travel with me too.
I'm really looking forward to meeting up with some of the members of the site and talk to some 1200 guys.
Hey dd, you gonna be there?
