Ugh, t-top car - if it were mine I might consider scrapping the back seat & putting a good cage in. Weld in SFCs are a must. I have the alston racing ones, similar to the global west ones. If I redo the 77 I will likely make them, like this: http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10965
I'm not going to drag race it too much, but I do want to take it to some autocross and road course tracks here and there for fun. Track times arent all that important. I want to build the car up so that it can handle the power. I'm hoping to make somewhere between 600-750 depending on the setup. Brakes will be as big as I can squeeze under the front wheels lol Wheels will be possibly Budniks. I really like the Cobalt

and GTX styles.

Tires will be whatever works out the best. I'll start with the Cooper ZXS's though. I had them on the Hawk and loved them.
Car will be getting a bar and SFCs so it should be pretty stiff. I'm not sure about the front clip though. Theres the Global West stuff, then full front clip swaps.
