Project: "A Body Jr" - 1975 Dodge Colt

Backtobasics said
Plans:

383 Big Block

727 Auto

8.75, C Body housing cut down, with 2.76 gears

--Building a 2x4 tube frame, as front subframes are rusty.

Objective: build a lightweight car with big block torque, that will allow me to hop in and drive to work, or take it to the drag strip for some fun. It will be a low buck build, using many OEM parts, and the combo will be streetable.

I want to take it to the track, but it will not be dedicated / pro street. Narrowed rear end, with a little more meat for tires, but close to stock appearing. A little sleeper effect would be fun.

The Colt that my friend Carl Penley from Hudson, NC built which was patterned off of Don Carlton's gold Nationwise Colt including body molds taken directly from Don's car. Carl worked with former Carlton crew chief Clyde Hodges for some time after Don passed away.
