    Nice thread you have going on here.

    I second those doors weighing 1000 #'s.

    I love these threads that watch the car transform. I like the way the car was going to look when you started it. But i know how things can change.
    Originally I wanted to build a pro touring car out of it, but, my mind has changed into making a Bracket drag car. There is always room in the family for another third gen, so I have my eyes out for another cheap car to put up in waiting. I've been looking at a 67 Pontiac LeMans too, that I think would be better suited for the "Pro Touring" look.

    Anyways, I still plan to do a lot of the mods to this car. I'm going to scrap the pop ups and weld the hood solid with no headlights at all. The car wont be street legal I guess.

    Once I took that hatch off I realized that focker weighs a ton as well, so I'm looking for alternatives. So far all I've found is a notchback, which I actually like. Most people dont but hey, my car, right?

              What about SpeedGlass? it's kinda like plexi but it doesn't scratch like plexi-glass. it's really light too...might be a nice alternative?

                              You are turning it into a Super Pursuit mode version of KITT from Knight Rider.
