(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Hello all, just wanted to share my soon to be future endeavor for the ground up rebuild of my beloved '72.

Here is my wants, needs and desires:

Going to flare it with the glass flares received the other day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Going to a CIS injection with a turbo setup--I am going to totally develope this system: the headers,, piping, intake plenum, as so forth.
It will unbelievable compact, nothing at all like you see from those other photos. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I absolutely must retain all the storage compartments for the intended use: the trunk must still hold my top, the front trunk must still hold my coleman beer cooler. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

So I am also designing an oil cooler mount made of sandwich composite that will be place on the rear trunk top--going to be radical!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Doing the chassis reinforcements:

Also swapping all the factory sway bars from my other car,

got the reinforced rear arms back the other day--a place called Nelson Brothers in Fort Lauderdale did them up for me---very high quality!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Wow...


wow, wow, wow,
nice work.
nice pictures...

just my opinions:
do some research on oil cooler placement. If that turbo is pounding out the HP, its gonna need some heat management too and lots of people have been there and tried everything in regards to oil cooler placement. You'll get MUCH better oil temp efficiency with a front cooler.

I have the kit on my trailing arms. I have been told by people I trust to definitely use the kit on a race car. But people that replied are right... your not feeling your arms flex in a street environment. I don't think you can feel them flex in a race environment... Probably your bushings or something else.. I'm not saying to ditch the kit, I'm just saying to do all of it (bushings) while your there....

Nice work.
keep it up
