Only underneath will be painted, the out side stays as it is.

"Grover" a 1954 Barndoor single cab with supercharged Autocraft engine
7
Have been reading with interest for a while and this is my first post.
I am currently building a "steetable" Single cab that I plan to drag race.
Grover is a 1954 Barndoor single cab that I have had for a while now and like all things is getting out of hand :happy:
The engine is an Autocraft 101.6 x 88. It runs a moldex crank, Pauter rods, CP pistons, 910 heads with Titanium and Incanel valves etc. The trans is a bus box build by Dave Butler (Dangerous Dave) to be as strong as it can and will run A RLR rev 6 clutch.
It will be super charged with a 2300 Harrop charger, with a water to air inter cooler. A Haltec ecu will control the fuel and ignition and full data acquisition.
The SC will be full bodied and has an ANDRA approved roll cage.
I am not sure how all this will work so I am hoping my questions can be answered here.

Thank you for your comments.
The body is with Al at Das Resto House, All the metal is out getting powder coated, will start to see the parts comming back in the next few days.
The final nagging project was the intake.
What a mission:
I drew up and cut the flanges and mocked up the runners, Dave Stoker machined the injector pockets and holders, Owen CNC milled them to slim them down so they fit and the brilliance of Shaun from Shauns custom alloy made it all work with his incredible welding and fab skills.

Grover is finished...... well almost :sad:
tried to be ready for the VW Drag day but missed it, decided to take it anyway and posed for some pics on the track.
Fired the engine and will start setting it up for some runs.
