hmmmmm-could I get away with orange seats then too????

The colored plexi windows would be a real "flashback"! :-)~

I loved the look of the gassers with those. Almost any color would be fair game with a yellow body. Just a matter of what you would like.

The only color I would avoid is making them yellow like the car, because they would not be as noticable.

Dave you read my mind in that I was going to ask if you knew what the car's weight was and was going to build a engine in consideration of that.You got a idea what the weight is??.

Haven't had a chance to get it in the garage and on the scales yet. Title weight for a 210 sedan is like 3280 lbs.

Done away with the front inner fenders and all the brackets and bracing. Bumpers will be figerglass...interior will be 2 'glass drag seats and a 4 point roll bar... Thinking maybe some aluminum door and deck lid skins, lexan windows all the way around..... Don't think 2700 should be a problem...?
