  1. I plan to drive this car at some HPDE events and local club events but not on a professional level. Yes I am concerned about front end lift. The car has about 1 inch of rake and a large air dam in front of the radiator that should help keep air out from under the car. I sure I will need to make adjustments to fully sort out the car. I have a few more braces to add for the fenders and some belly pans for aero. The car is pretty smooth underneath except for the exhaust. I will post a driving video as soon as I get the car tagged.
  2. See the picture above of the back of the wheel tub. I extended the back of the tub to intersect with the vent opening. I wanted the vents to be functional.
  3. The inner door panels are Datsun 240 Z. I did not make them. The upper dash, instrument panel, shifter cover and rear wheel tubs are carbon fiber. I made the molds and laid them up with marine grade clear epoxy and carbon fiber cloth.
  4. Not much of the original "70 Z car remains but here is my v8 conversion.
  5. rapidrich69@gmail.com I have many of the parts you need from a 1970 z. It was a low mile car (38000) with not much rust. reasonable prices, parts in Kansas. What do you need?
  6. Thought you guys might be interested in my GTO project. I started by building a chrome-molly tube chassis to scca gt3 rules. 2400mm wheelbase same as the SWB Ferrari. I used a c4 corvette donor for the suspension, dressed it up and powder coated everything. All floor panels and firewall are .040 titanium. Wheel tubs, dash and shifter cover are real carbon fiber. Engine is a race prepped 355 inch sbc with all the good parts. Transmission is a magnesium Tex racing dog box with rem finished straight cut gears. 3 disc clutch and mag bell housing are Tilton. Shocks are top of the line Afco double adjustable with the rears inboard mounted. The body is a Mcburnie, I stretched the front fenders 3.7 inches to match the original GTO. Wheels are 2000 corvette N73 magnesium option. The finished car will come in just under 2000 pounds and have about 480 hp, top end will be around 186. I am nearly finished now and working on the paint. I can hardly wait to drive it , it should be a lot of fun.
