ACTIVE BUILD PROJECT: Get in now, shape the outcome!
Car Description
This build is being set up as a small tire car, originally designed for a 10.5W setup — so anything smaller will fit right in. It features a full steel body, steel doors, fiberglass nose, and functional roll-up windows with glass, offering a solid, vintage base for serious performance.
Our build vision includes a Big Block Chevy, two stages of nitrous, a ATI Powerglide transmission, 9″ rear with 4:11 gears — all aimed at building a competitive, reliable drag car. The chassis will be certified to NHRA 7.50 specs, making it track-ready for serious racers. That’s how we’d build it.
Still time to make it yours!
- 2-5-2026 UPDATE: Final fit of the body and component. Then we flip the chassis and weld underside and floor.
- 12-24-25 UPDATE: The night before Christmas…
- 11-25-2025 UPDATE: Chassis is almost ready for NHRA 7.50 certification.
- 10-25-2025 UPDATE: Don’t wait to make this YOURS. Don’t second-guess. With every spark the welder — you’re paying more.
- 7-11-2025 UPDATE: Chassis Pipe Just Arrived! The 1971 Opel drag build is officially in motion — pipe’s here, jig table’s ready, and this small tire BBC setup is about to take shape. Want to make it yours? Now’s the time to lock it in and build it your way. Once we start cutting and welding, the price goes up.
January 18, 2019: The Opel is called the “poor man’s corvette” this is a cool car in a small package. This project has many options – and could be next on the JIG table. Buy it now or wait tell it’s finished.
