Cool updated pics of the car

Here are a few shots of my car in street trim.

Tell me what you think

This is EXACTLY how I drive the car to the track. Get to the track, drop tire pressure and race

For more info check out the racing section of my site
My car

I am really happy with how the Convo Pros look on the car









Here is where I mounted the fire extinguisher after my scare 2 weeks ago

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments

After 4 years I am finally nearing the end of setting up the car.

4.11 gears, line lock and 27.2 inch M&H musclecar drags is all that is left to do

thanks again,
Chris

Formulas look great in a drag setup. Yours is no exception. What tires are you running?
Oh yeah, I've always meant to ask this... how do you get in with the cage like that? I have to use the tilt just to get into and out of my stock T/A.
