***THIS IS FOR A ~BARE CHASSIS W/ TITLE*** Plus extras...

*1.75" x .095" wall DOM Cage w/ single door bars and extra gussets [USA Steel!][mostly TIG welded]

*Lots of work done to lighten up the heavy vert chassis. Coupe doors [shaved 60lbs here!], removed extra brackets, unnecessary factory bracing, crappy stock top, ect...

*It DOES have a super clean fuel tank w/ flushed lines and a Walbro 255L F pump that has maybe 300 miles on it.

* The pump has also been hard-wired w/ a console mounted switch for safety and as a anti theft system. A fuse and relay was added in the back of the car for it.

*Reinforced and painted S14 front LCA's

*ARP wheel studs all around

*Nicely pulled and rolled fenders

*Front wheel well pinch welds were cut, re-welded and flap-wheeled smooth for extra clearance the S13 needs

*Front s14 bearings [cleaned and repacked w/ high-temp grease], I also have a S14 rear subframe and LCA's that I was going to install for better traction off the corners; I have a S14 open diff too

*KTS coilovers, JGY arms, most bushings are poly

*New Reman'ed steering rack

*Engine bay was stitch welded and seam-sealed b4 painting the bay.

*Custom rear cover [back half lifts up, or can easily be removed for quick access to shocks, the circuit breaker, ect

*Trunk mounted Optima Red Top w/ alum bat holder, circuit breaker, fuse block, and 4GA power and ground [grounding will NOT be a issue w/ this car] wires. 2 custom gnd'ing blocks, 1 in E. bay, 1 in the back.

*Custom removable .250" tinted lexan bikini top [super cool for the rain or sunny track days]

*7 coats of House of color Kandy brandywine over Dupont black w/ silver skulls and flames on the side [skulls and flames show up different shades and shadows of red as the car passes by]. Painted by Scott Griffen in Waycross, GA [he has multiple covers and features in Truckin', mini truckin' ect mags]

*According to a set of drive on scales, the car weighs 2660 lbs w/ .5 tank of gas and a KA-t.

**This car has been COMPLETELY stripped. No drivetrain, no seats, no brake system.
This took a LOT of work... I also shaved over 200lbs [estimated]

For added protection, the welds were gone over again w/ a TIG welder, just to insure purity and strength in the critical areas.

Just as a reference of attn to detail, this is the engine I built for the car. The chassis has COUNTLESS hours of planning and execution of top of my ability craftsmanship.

The inside of the chassis was sprayed w/ a light coat of bed liner.

...All the way thru.

The cage was painted w/ EMRON industrial flat blk paint
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt244/just_wanna_drive/0305001814.jpg

DuPont blk base, HOK silver, then HOK Kandy brandywine, and several coats of quality clear. This car was never intended to show, just really stand out at the track... My cousin [Scott Griffin] just "happens" to paint cars/trucks that end up on the cover of world famous magazines... :roll: :wink:

The paint almost looks "Alive" as it turns in and out of the sunlight... Pretty sick while drifting!

Easy to remove aluminite rear cover I built

One of 2 grounding blocks bolted to secure parts of the car. Lots of little details like this...

Dimple die plates coming soon to connect the cage to the chassis... [alum trial pic]

Now, the bad... It needs a windshield. The corners of the back of the hood have chipped on the fenders from me removing the hood and resetting it by myself [will be touched up], I still haven't finished the removable tinted lexan top, it has ZERO brakes [hardlines have been sealed up tho], dash needs to be flocked... or replaced. Title in hand.

Thanks to the super crappy recession and my wife being out of work for over 1.5yrs now, my dreams of dropping a LS1/2 into the vert have pretty much been crushed... BUT, this being so--we found a solution the whole family can enjoy!

This, and now that MY JOB is being threatened... I need to buy a TIG welder and a few more shop tools so I can start on my dreams of owning a fab shop.

Price is $3700 OBO as it sits now.. I CAN deliver up to ~250miles for the cost of gas if a deposit is made.

Plz bump, and thanks for looking!
