Blair Patrick thanks for my Tunnelport for my 69 Torino Cobra project

I think I'm going to get some .375 6061 AL once I work out my final motor plate design and build it using that.  The .250 just doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.

Looking good.
I ended up using 10mm Al plate for the front motor plate, just 0.5mm thicker than .375" plate. I had bought a plate from Comp Engineering, but I didn't like the look of it. The front plate needs to be strong. Are you also using a mid plate?

[fetorino]

Yes I'm going to run a midplate and a rubber mount on my transmission tailpiece.

The NASCAR boys build their plates out of .375 so either that or the 10mm would be the call.

Dang man, you're gonna have to build a footbox for that thing like a Cobra's.

First, I was wondering if there has been any updated posts about this car that I have missed. Second, I wonder how it would look with a Talladega front end on it. I've wanted to build a street Talladega NASCAR clone with a engine combo similar to this one.

I am scratching my head about why you want such a thick .375 front plate,  I am assuming that you are using engine limiters.   mine are .250 thick and cut like elephant ears.  all I am thinking is weight.  I do understand the safety thing no doubt.

Is their any updated pics on this car and or updates at all on this sweet torino
