Thanks Richie,

Just curious, is the Crawford Ghia actually a real pan car?

Yes, it's Super Street class-legal, which mean full pan...

define a pan car?  Wink  

Its real enough as in rear is torsion housing, spring plate, torsion bars, normal shocks[ not coil overs] beam front end, it has stock vw style pans in the stock location, not sure how they are attached, never looked really closely, complies to all the Super street rules for a pan car in BRS competition, lots of cage and tubes help stiffen it up
