91 Galant VR4

...rolling chassis... will be happy with 2500lb race weight...

The list of things to go back on the car is a little long but off the top of my head:
Engine, tranny, front drive shafts, transfer case, clutch, flywheel, intake and exhaust manifolds, BOV, waste gates, turbo, water to air intercooler, heat exchanger, water pump and lines, radiator, radiator fans, fuel pump, battery and battery box, alternator, front and rear bumper covers, head lights, fabricated dash and gauges, AEM EMS, MSD ignition, custom wiring harness, exhaust.

The last time the car ran it was 2800lbs with me in it, so the dyno day at DB that is what it weighed.

What are your plans for rear suspension? 4 link with a ford 9" or keep blowing up stock axles? haha
?

I will run the 4 bolt at first, and have a few axels on hand to swap in as needed. Then I will look at drive shaft shop stage 5 rear axels vs a solid rear axel/4 link setup the main hold back with the stock rear end is if the axel does not break the ring and pinion are next. Then when the rear end does not break the transfer case and front axels become the problem. The goal is to make the car as light as possible, make as little torque as possible, and no wheel hop what so ever, if all this happens the drive train might hold up for more then 1 pass.

ps Kevin I missed your post somehow.

It's all good. I thought you might have, so I decided to bump it up again. Sounds like a pretty good plan.

I am working on the 4 slide tube mounts right now, the aluminum strips are just to hold the fenders at the right distance apart. The hood will either have 4 pins for easy removal or be mounted to the removable front end. I will drill holes threw the slide connection and add pins, the 2 up by the windshield will be removed from the top just behind the hood. And the lower 2 will be removed from under the front bumper cover.

The bigger long tube is welded to the chassis, then there is a tube that slides in, and is welded to the fender.

The removable front end will be mounted to a frame that will slide into the lower slide tube mounts.

I am also spending some time here and there to produce a few of these R.E.E.F SMIM for the 1g DSM.

looking really good

I will have to pick up a mani for the hatch some time

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

How much do you plan on charging for those Manis?

[Pushit2.0]

The price is a little more then a JMF. I will be out in the garage tonight to work more on the front end.

I was out of town 2 weeks ago, and did not have time to head down to discount steel until this saturday. So here is the start of the frame work for the removable front end.

Why square bar, and not round stock? Didn't you have the roundstock for that lower bar before?
