Love seeing another Lemans style top on a fauxbra. Does BDR make that one for these TD cars? Seeing that the top includes the A-posts, I'm assuming the front screen is Lexan? Love seeing the fab process and it really looks purpose-built.

What is your target weight and drive train specs?

Looking forward to future updates!!

- Allen.

Hey Allen, sorry for the slow reply, just got back from a 6500 mi road trip, been on the road for the last three weeks.
The top is a BDR supplied top, also available for their street cars, and the front screen is Lexan.
Target weight is 2500lbs, or so, she may come in a little pudgier. My current car is 2380, without driver, fueled up.
Hopefully the powdercoater will be done with the frame this week, and we can begin the assembly process. Drive train is the one I am currently using, what started out as a 408, now a 427 dry sump Windsor, mated to a G-Force T-56.

Bill, sent yo a PM.
Got the chassis back from the powder coater on Saturday, a productive weekend was had. She's now a roller with the exception of the steering rack, which should be in as soon as my honey do chores are wrapped up.

I was hoping to surprise you with a phone call from Indiana, with a dinner invitation, but we never made it north of I70.
That donor has treated me really well.

Some updated pictures from this afternoon. She's sitting on her own wheels for the first time. Steering is in. Front brake lines are in for the fourth and final time. Footboxes are complete. Dry sump lines are in for a dry fit. Keg is mounted, getting ready to drop the motor in for a test fit this weekend.
