Great find. Get some pics up when you get a chance. Tecnacraft and Lunsford both made Ti turnbuckles for the TRX-1. Not sure if they were the only ones, but those are two I know did.

Hope you're doin' something fun.

a keen eye will notice the tires are the only thing not correct to the car.

I'm going to put a good paint job on the body, and complete this car as a resto-mod. I will not compromise the car for the sake of modernization. Only direct bolt on hop up/ aftermarket items will be used......wanna have a modern looking shelf queen. I'm also going to do a truck...ls/lsII,srt,modern equipment. I've been racing on and off since 1991....owned eagle,ls,lsII X2, Srt x2....ALL GONE NOW! Gonna re-live the past with my restorations.
