I like it!!!

You guys sound like a bunch of those "numbers matching don't molest it" purists. I've seen plenty of body mods posted on this forum that looked a lot WORSE. You newbies don't know about the MERLIN car

Hmmmm.. Don't need headlights on a track-only car, has a nice hole in the front end for airflow. Could be modified so it's not QUITE so ugly.

Looks like a good back-half candidate if (like Gdania said) the frame is in good shape.
