Turn the t-tops and doors into gullwing doors a-la gt40....


RESTORE IT. T-tops are sex on wheels.

 

T-Tops are awesome..don't crush it.

 

After drag racing the t-top car all day saturday-14.5 at 95mph. I traded 2tonebossgt for his sn95 v6 car. He said he plans to restore it. I hope it goes well and would like to be kept up on its progress.

 

89racer, i will make sure of it, that I keep in touch with you over the process. Friends of mine are already wanting to see the car on the street. I am making room in the shop right now so that work can begin ASAP.

 

thanks- I am also bringing in the new sn95 car to look it over and start to think about what we should do with it.
What does everyone think;
fix the stock 3.8
swap in the supercharged 3.8
swap in a 5.0L with the 3.8L auto trans
swap in a 5.0L with a t5
swap in a 4.6L with auto or manual
swap in a 5.4L with lightning heads and supercharger (we will have some laying around soon)
swap in ?

 

I wouldnt do the 5.0L swap, its a bigger pain.
Its really up to you, are you gonna race it or flip it....?

 

Don't know we really don't need another race car around here. We are kind of tripping over them as it is. It would be great to find a home for this thing. But maybe we should work on it first.

 

Well I finally decided the red 95 will become the shops new drag race rental car. We had great success with the t-top car at the drag strip a couple weeks ago...several customers and friends tried their hands at drag racing for the first time and had a blast. We support customers drag and road racing cars for a living, and having a car thats not to fast but still fun will be a useful tool for the shop to have. We are having all the dissembly work done by a local high school auto shop and then we are going to do the 5.0 swap. Hopefully by spring the car will be ready for some low 13sec passes. Whenever we have a customer track day it will be on hand for everyone to hammer on a bit. I'll post pics as progress allows

 

That sounds awesome, I have never heard of this before....it should work out well but could get costly due to breaking parts.

 

The theory is that a low 13 high 12 second car shouldn't be too hard on parts esp with an auto trans besides we have quite a surplus and race car repairs are what we do.
