chevette! I was thinking if I can get a motor/trans/rear out of an early 90's mustang for a good deal I could get everything shoved up into a chevette, possibly mini tub it so I could fit some 10-12 up in the wheelwells. I think chevettes are supposed to weigh (stock) around 2000lbs, so with a 5.0 it should weigh around 2400-2600, and being it's nice and short it should pop the front wheels off the ground with some good tires/gears. I'm not to worried about tying down the motor/trans, but the rearend would take a little while to figure out and set up right. I could also just get a notchback which would be sweet, but it would be pretty bayad to almost completely build up a fast small car.

Opinions?????
