Brian I'd take it in a heart beat if I thought I'd ever have a chance to get it done. Then there'd be the logistics of another RedBall back west ....

Sometimes the best decisions are those that are hardest to make, we've all been frustrated by "that guy" that wouldn't sell a project while it returned to the earth in his backyard.... you're a better man for not being "that guy".There's always something new to learn.Comment

A wise decision, I think. I got nothin' in the BBC arena but I'd donate it to you if I did. SOMEONE has to have a use for the Jav.

i parted with a project a few years ago, i had invested a decent amount of money in parts, and some time, i took a loss, but i couldnt stand to look at it untouched for 2 years, it just needed so much work. for me to complete it, it would be taking time away from other more important things in life, and being a drag car project, i wasnt going to use it much after being completed being i havent been down the strip in 5 years in my other car that aside from putting the interior back in, is get in it and go.
at least you arent going to lose thousands.Comment

If there's a class at someone's local track to put that thing back on dirt or asphalt oval - that would be the shiznit - trying to put that thing back on the street would be a monumental undertaking, a drag car would be my next choice - as long as the driver is svelt enough to do the Bo and Luke Duke thing through the window.There's always something new to learn.Comment

That cage may pass tech at a circle track for an enduro type deal, but it won't be any good at a drag strip.

Did someone say monumental task? Doors welded shut is a problem? Not for me I have a sawzall and a welder! Heck I think its too nice to beat up on a circle track, might make a fun AutoX toy... You might be surprised what I would put on the street.
Alas, I have too many projects as it is, despite really liking that vintage Javelin/AMX. The price is right for me too, dirt cheap is always a plus. Too bad there are so many in line ahead of it, if not I would jump on it and build something interesting with it.Comment

It isn't that the doors are welded shut, the only "doors" that exist are the outer skins. There is a stock cart style cage in it that kicks out into where the rest of the doors would be.
Great racer project.That which you manifest is before you.Comment
