your dead on that.

he did tell me he had a customer that saw a fast car with a titanium firewall in some magazine and that he wanted it, he told him it was a waste of $$$$$$. but the customer went ahead...$1000 piece of metal.



ps he told me a bare chassis was $6K for c/moly
weighed 350 lbs.

a pro stock type of chassis 6 second cert.

For what it's worth The chassis on my pinto is an old Alston 2x3 mild steel rectangular framed tube chassis car. I had it front halved with round tube and struts to fix some minor front end damage that it had when I got the car. Hoping to have it around 2150-2200 lbs when finished with a 300/C-4 combo

I had hopes of finding a Pro Stock Neon less drive train. A buddy of mine bought one from Alan Johnson.$30K One can only dream.

Homebuilt mild steel with S & W 3X2 frame rails, 4-Link, strut front end, little slant 6, Jerico trans, '61 Lancer all steel comes in at 2185 Lbs without driver.
Built 20 years ago this December,with not many tools.
60-62 Valiants and Lancers are the best, not only good looking but they light and fast.

Boy, Time flies when you are having fun. Definitely one of my all time favorite Slant 6 powered racers! Hope to see it in person some day.

Slantzilla, get that Daytona done and everyone will forget the old outdated Lancer.

I keep thinking I will finish it this year. I thought that the last 5 too.

It is sitting down at the shop waiting for the motor/trans, so it is closer to done at least.

(My Challenger has only been sitting in my garage on stands for about 2 1/2 years so far... )

I got an engine, tranny and fiberglass hood put in/on the Duster yesterday.
