Here are a few shots of the 275 radial car that I've got going together. Tig-Vision Welding is putting in the 25.3 which is coming out awesome!! Chassis should be finished up in a week or so and then its off to paint.

The motor will be a 5.4 4V, we're starting with a GT47-88 and will be upgrading to one of the new GTX55 once we get the car sorted out a bit. Anyway on to the pictures.

I thought this was going to be another "I'm building an x275 car thread", but this one is actually pretty good. Going to stay 8.8? Looks like an un-braced roller atm. Whos rear stuff will you be using, and what shocks?

Gonna stick with the 8.8, It'll get braced once the chassis work is done. It's got UPR DA uppers and lowers, and have a set of QA1 double adjustables to go in it.

I can tell you right now that you wont be happy with upr stuff. There welds break and there bolts bend. I would get rid of the qa1 stuff as well. I mean, if it's in the budget. I do hope it all works out for you.

Bolts are gonna be upgraded to 5/8" grade 8 hardware, and I'm not worried about the welds. Know the welders personally and the work they do is second to none. Gonna give the QA1s a shot, if they end up not working well I'll fork out the money for some afcos or santhuffs.

What would the price be for some door panels? Any more pics of them? You can PM me if needed

I will get more pictures on thursday the next time I am in the shop, There are provisions for using the factory door cups and handle trim. There aren't any speaker holes in them.

I'm not sure on the pricing. They are pretty labor intensive. Probably be between $550-600 for the pair.

I would at least invest in some Team Z relocated uppers, aside from that looks like a kickass project
