Excellent - I forgot it had already been "fortified" in the structure department - did you put the cage in?

Re: BBR's 83GT

Subframe connectors are planned as well as 6-8 point bar.

Snagged the manual rack to power steering column adapter bushing this morning so now I'm about ready to find a manual rack for it. Probably will just get one through rockauto.

Looks like he put them in after the purchase...

The bar is just a Maximum Motorsports 6 point I bought from a friend who is going to a full cage in his '85.

I like my Max Motorsports stuff. It should keep you safe.

he's going to go supersonic in the equivalent of bubble wrapping.... I'm not sure I'd be resting easy with a 6 point :

Ahh phoey. People have gone lots faster with far less protection (think: WWII fighter planes!), but you know, machine guns on this thing would kick ass. Hmmmm......

I've given this a lot of though over the last few days, reviewed it, and have now decided it's JunkWhisperer's fault that I mistakenly called this evil machine Bob. I saw the error when you called it a She and apologize accordingly.

Missile launchers and Gatling guns have no place on a girl car, sir. Pariticularly one that might be called Bobbie.

ha. What did the neighbors think? Anyone lurking in the driveway, peering around the garage, poised to pounce and ask a gozillion questions?

Whew, I'm so relieved, thought I'd become a character in the latest Pixar flick.

Have the neighbors started circulating petitions to keep you from firing up this beast yet?

[BBR]

Re: BBR's 545 83GT..... it is alive

No snoopy neighbors or petitions yet. Then again, it's been really cold and snowy here, so not many folks have been out!

a fighter plane with t-tops? maybe you can put some launch hooks on it.... then when you power tow it, you have a convenient place to hook onto (sorry, was just too easy). ;D

[BBR]

Re: BBR's 545 83GT..... it is alive

Actually, tow hooks did cross my mind...

Re: BBR's 545 83GT..... it is alive

You may of seen when I was thinking of putting some front tow hooks on the skylark, I'm still considering it, especially for drag week. Simply because if I blow up the engine renting or borrowing a truck is much cheaper and simpler. ;D Of course that could be said of any trip I take the car on.

Re: BBR's 545 83GT..... it is alive

.... not tow hooks, LAUNCH hooks ;D

Wow, Hagerty Insurance and Texas Antique Vehicle plates FTW!

Hagerty Insurance is only $139/yr for this thing.

Texas Antique Vehicle plates = no state inspection/registration and no front plate.

;D ;D
