project dumbass,part 3
weve been pretty busy this winter so the vette sat in corner
but we had some time this week to get back on vette, jay,s been a welding fool
the car will be built to use the stock cradle and , IRS set up which we'll be modifying in order to run 15 inch wheels/tires for stock suspension radial racing and it will also be set up with a 4 link, so we can put a rear in it to run limited street in orsca and top street in the ptra down here by us which is a 28 x10.5 class
bad thing about this is we need 3 sets of tire,s and wheels,
let me answer most common question,s on other boards now,
1-will it me stock suspended ? yes sometimes
2-will you be able to run with Paul major ? not at this time due to budget constaints [i dont have the budget he does
]
but if he wants to sponsor us, we are ready, lol
3-can we see rear setup of IRS,?
not till its done 
4- will it be LS powered? no all,s i have is my 540 out of the wagon
[we will have john,s car back here soon,to run if there are any corvette races,in the area,if he wants to]

Awesome job Bob and 9 finger Jay 
........ I would of never thought that you would of bought a vette for a race car. I can only picture you in the level 5 dragonwagon or the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Things will never be the same now.
Keep up the good work, i'm gald you came around.

My f-body is on a lift waiting for you, notice I already have the main hoop bent for you in the picture. I had to put a diaper on the f-body so it won't **** on my Ford.
I can't wait to see you crawl in and out of you're vette. See you soon.
