OK, I promised some updates, I'll try if the site does not time out on me. First I got the sheet metal in the trunk and fuel cell, batt box mounted.

Fab'ed up a fiberglass rear bumper

Got the seat frame built and seat installed.

Templates for windshield and side glass, at $100 a sheet, you don't want to take a chance on screwing up a sheet of Lexan.

and the lexan for tde w/s

Next up I hope to get it in final primer in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Tim and Charlie, I have been involved in circle track car builds that went from a pile of tubing to a car in three weeks. I am convinced that trying to take an old car and turn it into something totally different is more difficult. Just so many thing to work out and think about to try to get it as period correct as possible. Take the seat, I have an alum racing seat that I put in the car, but it just didn't look right. Since old van seat are hard to find these days, I got a  seat from a mid 80's Freightliner, removed the airride base and built a tube frame for it. A lot of work for a seat, but I think it looks more period correct than the modern alum racing seat. I could not find a decent rear bumper, so I took my old bent and rusted one and use it as a mold to make the fiberglass one. About a weeks work, but I think it turned out pretty good for a first try.

I believe you are right.  I have be involved in doing both and after the FED build I think it is easier to start from scratch.  I do like what you are doing though and it's too bad you are so far away and not finished, that thing would go great at the Eagle Field event.

good deal yblock and falcon. im working on old gasser 62 falcon  freind built in 1969 it took till lasts year to get from him was 6 banger i ran against him with 6 bang 68 stang in f and g gas. also was thinking yblock has have hopped up 292. good luck billy the kidd bender.

Kidd, I like the 6 bangers and a falcon is the perfect car for one and alot cheaper than a y block. Good luck with yours.

Tim, I would love to come to Eagle Field just to watch, but it's just to far. I do want to take one more trip out west before we get to old to travel.

While you guys talking about 6 bangers, the guys that started the Eagle Field event built this one with a 200 Ford I though it was pretty cool and wanted to build something like it although my plans progessed into something a little more.

I know HA/GR is a class designation but it made me think that "Hagar" would be a fitting name. Especially when you compare the driver and crew to the Comic character Chuck in NH
