Phuckin A!
We are parting out that PT GT if you need any parts mount wise etc for your swap bro. I'm anxious to see it with the powertrain in. For some reason if the motor doesn't fit in the mini rail we are building I will let you know. It's only got 32k on it if you can't find one that's not all worn out by you.
definitely keep me in mind if it doesn't work out for you guys
Not much of an update. I have bought the motor and will head out to pick it up next week. Also talked with Darrell cox racing. This guy is the guru of these little motors. My motor will be built by him. He has the knowledge to set it up for autocross. I had ask him about the 400 HP I would need to see the gains of the weight reduction of the srt4 motor. He said 400 is nothing. He has a very well sorted motor that will make 600 HP an run on pump gas. Run all day and get close to 30 mpg to boot. This car will scoot. With tnat much power and weight in at less than 2700 lbs . Should be a fun ride. Im more pumped than ever to get this build finished up. The big push to get it finished is on.

that's cool for a 4 banger! remember our talk about my '69? lol!
Misery loves company..LOL.
While waiting on the motor for mock up I moving along on the rest of the body. It would be in paint by now if I would just quit changings things. I have never been a fan of the dual tail lights in the 65. Seems like every one I have ever seen the lights don't line up from the quarter panel to the trunk. So I fixed that. Or F**ked it up depending on if you like the dual tail lights.
Any way here is the end result.

Love the spoiler? How'd you make that?
Man I have really been enjoying this build and the direction you have taken. But those taillights.... Are you gonna put some kinda trim on there to tie them together? No offense to you but that abrupt stop reminds me of those old mid to late 90's Honda Civics with the taillights shaved from the trunk. Keep up the great work!
It started out as a spoiler from a 85 Camaro. Cut to fit and reshaped.
None taken. That was my first thought. If I do remove them how do I make it work again with out it looking weird. Well he is the plan. The tail light trim rigs will be satin black. The little chrome trim ring in the center of the tail lights will be removed. The center section of the deck lid will be painted satin black to make it all work together. Here is quick visual of the black out on the panel.The car will be white.
Interesting log in name and aviator. Yours ? I have seen that car on DCR web site and on U tube.
I would love to if I get the time! I haven't even had time to shoot you a text!
That sounds like it will work. Kinda like a Barracuda tail panel. I wish that car in my avatar was mine! lol. I used to mess with Neon's alot. I accually started putting 2.4's in them before there where any kits to do it. Thats how I created my user name.
Went and picked the motor today. A couple hours in both directions makes for a long morning. But its at the shop. So I will start the muck up some time in the next couple of weeks. I need to finish up some bodywork while I still have it on the body cart. Can't wait to get this project on the road.
