Pictures of Jay Johnson's SS I uploaded 50+ pics of Jay's car here: http://groups.msn.com/LS1pics/shoebox.msnw?Page=1
I was extremely impressed by the look (and sound) of the car. Look for it to bust a 9.xx next time out.
Here's a few teasers.

you cant see it from the pic's, but the color looks just a little different in different light (with the metallic), and on the edges of the maroon there are silver accent lines...kinda radom and rough lines....very clean looking.
I think Jay has a couple things on the list of things to do, but he was able to pull some weight out of it this weekend before I showed up at the shop.

NHRA rules state the side bars are supposed to pass in between the drivers shoulder and elbow when the driver is sitting in the seat.
I always though that you had to had the forward bars connect throught the dash, but I double checked the rules, it says you only need to connect the forward down bars if you have removed more than 1 square foot of firewall or body for transmission access etc.
I like the design of that roll cage, I am going to have to keep that in mind. I am installing a 10 point chromoly cage in a couple weeks.
Does anyone know if Jay Johnson got that car NHRA certified for 9's?

Thanks for the pic post. The cage is cert'ed for 9's and I
am on my way to getting personally licensed.
A rear-mounted battery will most likely give me no benefit
at all. I've looked at it from a number of perspectives on
my setup. That's not to say that others will not gain some
benefit from a rear-mounted battery.
The setup has put down a 10.08@135mph. First day on
the track for this 402ci motor.
Motor development will continue in it's positive path.
Keith Craft and I are looking forward to what's to come in
2004.
