    The new car is on the ground, the suspension is sorta finished. I don't have the springs and shocks in yet, so I could see what it looks like at ride height. And yes that is a gas door on the side from a 89 ford pobe, now maybe I won't spill fuel like the stock stuff!!!

    They make the same tail-lights for trailers now too. I have even seen them with a clear lens with red LED's.

    What do you have under the back of that? It sure doesn't look like a leaf setup.

    yep, the street boss motor is going in this car. That is a jaguar xj6 rear end, I stole the idea from chris stout.

    and this is the motor, it's not done it's just kinda put together. There is no crank that's why the harmonic balancer is hangin there

    Is it safe to say that you are building your own version of the yellow "Boss 302" Maverick Drawing that was in Hot Rod Magazine? It looks like thats where this is going!
    All I can say is wow!:cool:
