half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 

my paps just got a 7 second chevelle rolling chassis...tubbed like a MOFO , 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!

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 O0

So he got a chevelle, and you want to put a camaro body on it???? 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

a rolling chassis isnt a 7 second car....unless you are pushing REALLY fast

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 

7 second means its certifed for 7's. hes going to have a hard time getting there unless they've got a fat stack of cash saved up for it.

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 

yeah and especially with him working on it.

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 

exactly...im betting he is just calling it a 7 sec car because thats what the seller told him, not because of the certification.

Re: half fiberglass half metal or full fiberglass
 

this guy doesn't kno metric from standard... he wont ever get this car in the 7's

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

I'd be surprised if it runs 13s
