Thanks Cary!

Dam-it-man. I thought Cary was hooking me up. Last time I will let him say I got something just for you.

Tom. The car looks great. I'm know Billy is really excited about both our builds. It will just be nice to hit the track with them. I feel like a key board racer here. LOL

Do you'll have any pictures of the chassis before the floor pans were welded in?

Thanks all!

I am so very happy with the car and how it performed. I don't have the actual times in front of me but the rough run down was we slowly crept up on it from an 11 sec systems check pass to a 7.71 in the 4th pass. There is a bunch of fine tuning and details to sort out still but the bottom line is the car was rock steady and left straight as an arrow. I am excited to put some boost at this thing and really let her eat.

Thanks again to all that stopped by with such kind words about the build up and project completion. It was definitely a labor of love by all parties involved.

Please feel free to ask me any questions about the car or details pertaining to the first track outing. That is easier than me just typing a novel.

That is Bad-f'n-***, especially for a first time off the trailer run.

Congratulations on resetting the bar in a lot of aspects.
I do have one question - who makes the gas pedal you are using?
