I think I went to Don's house a couple years ago and helped him put his GN back together? Then I never heard from or saw him again... He sold it?!?!?!

Well since the TA can be considered the "Regal drive train test chassis" lol - I guess I can post up a few pics here.
Basically the fate of this TA is to be the test bed for the powerplant for 08, then after that it will most likely be sold as a roller while the powerplant and drivetrain get transplanted into the 25.5 Regal....

Well the Regal chassis is still under construction... but further than the last photos I posted, Ill try to get current photos up soon.
As far as the TA - It is for sale / trade. Have only started it, but has not been tuned or driven. Was planning to do 25.2 chassis to it for this season, then throw the drivetrain into the regal over next winter, and convert to EFI. But I don't have the time to mess with it this year, as personal and professional matters have me really tied up (in a good way).
The Bird is on racingjunk, and posted for sale on here too-

25.5 update
Well I stopped out at the shop last night to check up on the car (and borrow the complete TRZ suspension set up to throw on the T type). Not much progress to show, but the majority of the cage is knocked over for final welding, and ready to be put back in place.

The rack on the left of the inside of the trunk is built to support the ice cell, the fuel cell will be offset to the right, and it will be set up to run dual batteries one in each far side close to the quarter. The reason for the shelf is in case the water cell gets replaced with twin bottles (never happen). Also, they welded threaded inserts onto the added plating to the frame mounts for the rear suspension. No more trying to squeeze hardware back there, just slide the bolt in and torque.

Hey Rick, I can't seem to find the memory card that I took the most recent photos with only a couple weeks ago. The cage is a bit further along, and I specifically took photos of the a-pillar, dash bar, and the front bars because I wanted to duplicate the work on my t type street car (only an 8 point)... but don't know where they are. I will try to get new photos up shortly.
Cliff,
Thanks, that would be great!
I have been coming back to this thread a lot as I really like what you have been doing with the car.
I am in the middle of building a cage, and after looking at this (and talking to a few others) I have decided to do the rear very similar to what you did, turned out nice (I did not do the x brace).
I have done front bars though the dash before.. but they were a single bar from the main hoop all the way forward (MAJOR PITA) and that car did not use a traditional steering column. On this project I thought I might try what you guys did, just wanted more of an idea how the bottom bars went. (Looks great), seems like the 2 pc front bars would be a lot easier.
Oh well enough rambling... Great job, car looks great!
Thx!
