My Street 289 build

Nice job! Never tried working with fibreglass myself, so I'm in awe.

Keep up the great work

Cheers!

Stacey,

I agree, I have done a little fiberglass work, and it certainly did not look as good as what you did Did you make a mold or form?

Actually, some 1/8” Masonite, parchment paper (my version of mold release), and a couple of YouTube videos allowed me to fumble my way through. The trunk pan has given me enough courage to try making some changes to my foot boxes now. We’ll see how that goes.

WOW!! Stacy that's just terrific. I kind of wish I went the route that you took, having Bruce build the chassis but it never entered my mind since I already had the Factory Five chassis.. Keep posting those pictures. Great work.

Still trying to get the welding / steel work buttoned up. There are no provisions for a front sway bar, and I want to have that option. Put together some sway bar mounts and welded them in.

Stacey,

Nice addition, it will help with handling. Are those rubber or poly bushings? I cannot tell. If they are rubber, then I would suggest going to poly while you have everything still wide open. The poly will perform better than rubber.

They’re poly. I agree with you about them being better, as long as they’re well greased with the correct grease.
