I'm up in the air on changing the body.
I don't like how high off of the ground the body sits.
The engine needs to be torn down and freshened up. Working on cleaning up the wiring right now.
I plan to run a 8.80 index.

I like it. Reminds me of the Glen Way's Ground Shaker Jr.  IMO I'd put on a set of zoomies.

Do you have a picture of the Ground shaker.
I think I'm going to add aluminum extensions to the bottom of the body.

Let's see if this works. You can also Google 'Ground Shaker Jr". There are lots of photos. This is not my photo I found it on Google.

That's funny I just found that photo and kept it because I also thought it looked like my car. Than I seen your post.

Thanks

Bruce Dyda (DRE) in So Cal just built a new Ground Shaker Jr for Glen Way.  It's a work of art.

What's the history of your car? Is there a chassis builder or SEMA id number?

It was built in the late sixty's early 7o's.
The car was originally only 96" long.
It was reworked about 15 years ago and stretched to the current 120" new style roll gauge. The work was done by Toothless Sam.
The car also had an old Anglia front end with shocks.
The guy I bought it from said it was a handful in that configuration.
It was called the Thriller! He owned the car for 15 years, it was really hard for him to part with it.
The car has a 468 BBC on Alcohol now.
Thanks I really appreciate the interest in my project.
