    Got some to load up. Car still looks "empty" but most everything has been mocked up and removed for "more" progress! Should be running for a Labor Day Special! Still have trouble resizing, when I hit browse I cant find the pic's! Need Eddie!

    Basic's are

    414 Windsor Brodix heads

    Performance Auto c-4, B&M mega air shifter

    Strange 9" 4:56 spool 35 spline

    Strange brakes all 4 corners

    5 gallon fuel cell, had 2 batteries, unsure if 1 or 2 batt. till car is scaled

    More will follow

    Looks great......I would soooooo recommend running an alternater. :D

    You will never notice the (minimum) performance loss and its so much easier then worrying about charging, especially in the later rounds. :)

    alternater is getting on. Have to agree on keeping the voltage up on the 7al-2

    Will have more pic's,,,just have to get resized.

    My buddy Tom did the tunnel,,came out great!

    Still have to get front tires,,waiting for a couple trials an then figure out what height.
