hi all haven't been on for a few months, been a hard few weeks , my wife died of cancer 6 weeks ago  . so i haven't done much car wise ,the roof chopped ve as going to be her car so i haven't got the heart to work on it , so its going in to storage just to get it out of site . so i thought i would do a fun car for me ,had a spare ve wagon here so i am making another gasser , this one is drag car only , got a chrysler 400 and 727 a axle out of a dodge truck and a ford explorer diff  .the car is real rusty in the floors and chassis so i am cutting it all out and making my own chassis and new floors , here a fw pics .

coirge do one but hard to find

thats a hemi not a 225 

nice to another little mopar coming alive.i see there is a few mopar motor experts on here .might need some help  from you boys latter on ,son wants me to build a twin turbo set up for his coupe . what sort of dollers are you guys paying for the explorer diffs 

early on i cut all the inner guards and front panel off ,makes it real easy to fit motor in and out , front panel bolts on now . put some lights in the stills so when you open the doors the mopar  lights up . the front panel with the colour the car will be ,and all chrome blacked out

Tyre width is obscene. Will they fit my mx5?

 

Is this going to be drag strip only?

no just a runabout and curzing around hawkes bay 

the headers go though the fire wall and out though the a pillar .with electric cutouts in behind the front guard , and a t section going to the rest of the exhaust 

made my own headers and full exhaust .

got anther coupe as well needs a lot of work
