cry me a rive Minax !!! lol Just kidding A good single stall would be nice for me !! Then again I know it'd be cramped and I'd want a double so I could put chassis beside of the body. Oh and then where would I put the dune buggy!! So it might as well be good enough that I live in the south and have plenty of space to work on it outside!!!

Why not do the whole headliner in the foam ? That way it would add a little more sound proofing

Yes I agree, I miss seeing Rob Stone working on his too !!!! I know that although they were basicly the same concept, there is no two every finished the same !!! I myself am going convertible and was thinking of going front engined!! First thought was a v8 but have recently been leaning toward a rotary up front. I believe there is enough room for this engine and a radiator to fit under the hood which I would like to open corvette style.

Dan, be real careful some gt2's ran some cable's high in the body cavity. That is of course you are planning on cutting into the body.

Wyn, What about them selling the tooling they have? Would they be interested in that? Maybe somebody that has been in the glass business would be willing to make them other than them!! I am pretty sure that bradley auto paid 50,000 to have windshields made!!!

Dean, thanks for the info!! It will come in real handy soon. So you're planning on the radiator under the front too I never figured there would be enough room for it too.

vents are looking great Dean!! How much of a clearance problem was there with the engine under the front? I would realy like to know this because there's not much differance in the monte carlo front end i'm planning to use.

Now by all means don't let me discourage you because i'm actually thinking of doing something simular with a gt2 but it has a little more room to work with.

Remember, never bolt or screw anything directly to plexiglass. Doing so will create too much stress and therefore cause cracks.

Back to the thread at hand. Jeff you've done a great job on the Avenger. It's taken some time but a lot of people would have given up on it, Probably why it was in the shape it was. You've added some very nice touches to it that gives others ideas too no matter what kind of kit you have. Loving the color too!!
