half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
my paps just got a 7 second chevelle rolling chassis...tubbed like a **** , suspension, roll bar, wheelie bars, parachute etc......and i am going to be putting a TT 350 in that bitch. and my question is, do i want to put a 67 camaro full fiberglass body on top or do i want to put half fiberglass front end and a metal back end....for like weight on that back tires....or will i even need to worry about traction problems with tires that are like 2.5-30feet wide? all opions are are wanted!

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
thats what wheelie bars are for. your main consern is going to be the drivetrain.. and above all else. stoping a 7 second car. go full glass, its easyer to deal with. did it come with a good rear end? pics? i wanna see this beast

? I might be not understanding, but that would be gay. anyway, If you want to go sevens on a small block, a stock chevy block isn't gonna cut it, get an aftermarket block, and you can go big inches. you can get 454 out of a small block, but with boost youd be better off sticking with 427 inches, and I wouldn't worry about traction, with a back halfed car, and a small block. If you want to loose a little weight, get a glass hood and deck lid, you can even get fenders and doors but they look like poop

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
i never ever said that it is doing 7 seconds currently
i never ever said that the car WILL BE DOING 7s
the frame is a universal frame.
also i never said that i ever wanted to put the car into the 7s
all i have to work with is a 350SB, and i know that it wants boost so i am going to TT this bitch
no it really is a 7 second car, he got it up to 192mph or something.
i want to try to do 9-10seconds in the quarter mile, and with a 2000lbs car with over 500hp should do it.
for the drivetrain i have a BUILT Turbo400 so suck it biatches
also it has a ford 9inch rear, but its shortened because of they tubbed the body to put MASSIVE tires on it
