In the beginning, this car was to be a strip down, re-paint and put it back together for drag racing. But then we got a little carried away. Scott started cutting in the back. He cut a little more out. And then found the driveshaft wouldn't fit the tunnel so he had to cut a little more. And then he decided to move the engine back so the car would pull the wheels easily. So then he had to cut some more....and some more....oops!

(And to think, this car began as a rust-free car! Sorry Wayne, we know this isn't quite what you imagined for the car, but you'll like the outcome, we promise. *grin*)
