    The roof liner is all that is left inside...no original dash left in the car...steering is changed and most of the wiring harness is gone! Everything is on painless switch panel and toggle start with mini starter. Front and door glass is gone! Approx weight is at 2400 lbs...anything else I can help with feel free to ask!

    I`m going to run a combo similar to yours except mine will be a stick shift,you`re #s are great I`d be thrilled to get that.I will eventually own one but just to expensive right now,those Pro System carbs are awesome & in the sportsman classes I don`t think you can beat them.I know quite a few stick cars in my area using them w/ great success.
