Well Dow as you can see I did get one more of the drawings posted.(yeah twice.Sorry about that guys).When done the roof line is 48".It is a Astro/Safari body,but it is just the shell of one.Really it is a frame with the skin of a van sectioned and roof chopped.We had guys with roofs chopped on the old site and haven't seen much of that since it crashed.This van is the end of a life long involvement in drag racing.With this project it has been take two steps forward and 5 back tempered by my needs for my business.I need to get back to the C.A.D. designer and clean up old business this summer.I guided the frame design from the drag cars owned in the past. It is intended to be a street rod.Total target wt wet with driver is 2900lbs and we seemed to be on track to reach that.

I had this posted before and I thought by bring it up again the new members would enjoy the plans I have so far.
