Nice lookin car!
Did you build the chassis yourself, or get drawings from anywhere?
From the pics it looks like you sit quite far forward which seems to be the battle when sticking a V8 in the front.

We used a Bears performance frame with a custom roll cage. Fred's Chassis and Fab built the basic frame and we took it from there. I sit only a little back from where the orignial position was and is quite tight but it works. I live in Amherstburg Ontario Canada (just outside Windsor)
Thanks for the interest.

I thought so!...the reason I'm asking is for one of the members on here..SKAR..who's been in cognito the last while,anyways,he's from Ontario as well as I and he was having a problem with how to license his project when he finally gets it done(the Bug on "Fox" body Mustang frame thread)..so,if you can tell us how you did it,it would be appreciated..sweeet looking ride,by the way!.. ;D...

That's at Grand Bend Motorplex. That day I qualified 9 out of 16 in a Q16 heads up comp. The winner ran a 7.90 or something. I qualified with a 10.80 @ 130mph. I was one of the only Naturally aspirated and small block cars. It was a great time. I register the car with the dmv as a Vw bug with a 8 cyl engine. I just took it out for the first time this year last night and didn't remember how much I miss driving that thing. Throw her in overdrive and cruze on the highway all day.
