are you talking about the body of the car or the drive? cause there is NOTHING straight about it's drive line.


and another thing, there was no mention about front suspension changes, but the weight of a VG conversion in a 120Y is gonna be VERY top heavy....

awesome build, and awesome project, but just so you guys know.... please take into consideration

1. its not a TRACK CAR... however its a car that can ONLY run on the track
it's suspension design only allows it to be powered on a surface that can hold it.

2 look at 3rd gear, on EVERY run...the torque transfer THROWS the car helplessly, do you think that can be done on the streets? of course not.

3. having a car of that weight class and a powerplant like that, i understand the goal of not wanting a cage in the car, but it would help with power and weight transfer throughout the chassis, making it more stable.

4. 11s in a car of such MINT condition is pretty remarkable, glad to see things still intact.

5. there we no mention of brake upgrades, but i would assume of a car of this stature they would have definitely done so....

either way.... cinco is right.

still awesome project either way.

^^ yup.

A lot of things be had need to change to have it running properly and at the end of the day, issues will still be there.

Car; as I said earlier is sweet.....

But unstable car even in third gear.........



Ain't nobody got time for that

In a car with all the structural rigidity of Jello and brakes and tyres to match.

To be fair, i can't see the brakes under the 14" rims so i dunno.

How you so sure the chassis was modified to accomodate the additional load?

120 real clean and pulling pretty decent too!
