That's right, a Cordoba!
Hey everyone, new to Lateral G but not new to car building and racing. Looks like a cool place to draw a lot of inspiration and learn a bit about what other people are doing with their builds.
I've had my car about two years now, and the goal has been to create a car that looks and performs like the NASCAR type cars that went to Le Mans in the mid 70's, but on a very very tight budget. So keep that in mind (plus it is very much a work in progress) when you see some pictures of my car!
The entire drive train has been gone through already with a rebuild 360, 46RH overdrive trans, 8 3/4 rear end with posi and 4.56 gears. The interior is gutted with sheet metal door panels and two bucket seats. Next up is the front suspension that is going to get larger sway bar, larger torsion bars, new shocks, tubular upper control arms, and polyurethane k member bushings. The goal here is to build it the best I can without reinventing the wheel or buying a crazy expensive kit. Just going for bolt on performance here.
Anyways, I'll get a build thread going at some point, but for now it's nice to be here.
How it looks now.

Engine shot with air intakes removed to see more. (Inner wheel wells had just come out, so forgive the horrible firewall)
