Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread

Thanks guys. Although the page views show plenty of interest it has pretty much just been me and the crickets... I thought there would be more questions?

The goal for this car is a cleanly executed purpose built base. No desire to compete in a specific class or have a show queen. This one is going to see a lot of usage and will get scruffed up over time. My background has been mostly drag racing. On this car I'm trying to strike a balance between streetability and capability for road course/autocross. Not knowing where my interests will ultimately focus I want a base that is upgradeable as my driving skills improve. It has to handle/go fast but also have the creature comforts for driving to events within the Pacific NW. That is why it will have an OD manual trans, power steering, power brakes, wipers, heater ect. This makes the car heavier than it could be but this is a "gentleman's hot rod". Ultimately I'm planning for a Jammie Pasion 5 speed and throttle body fuel injection so current modifications are aimed at being easily upgradeable as the need arises.
