Midwest Chassis is a small shop just like Burkhart. They both do very similar things with regards to Fbody parts but I personally think Midwest has the best components. They offer great track support, lightest parts available, and their stuff works.

I don't want to see this turn into a burkhart vs. midwest dick measuring contest. They have both stepped up to the plate to fill the needs list on this car, and I'm happy with what's on the car now. I'm sure Eric won't disappoint when his parts arrive either!

I figure it's about time to release updated build pics of the girl. There's a pretty lengthy history on this car, so i don't think there's a point in giving "background".
What are we doing this year?
Quint and I have taken the plunge to build a competitive Real Street/Ultimate Street car for NMCA and the ORTC races. We're very lucky to have an extremely good chassis fabricator in Devlin Bomar. His shop is called Cage Rage Chassis. Anyone that wants work done definitely should consider him! 615-557-6760 My car is a 25.3 chassis 100% stock suspension setup staying to the true intent of "stock suspension racing.
The car will be a 76mm Turbo setup. I'm undecided on the turbo we will use yet as the new rules for this year have us re-evaluating our options. Trans will be a PG setup and the rear is currently a Burkhart 9".
For the Torque arm and LCA's I've leaned on Bob Ette@AEIcnc to come up with some mad scientist stuff. More on that later though
Tuning and chassis work I'm lucky to have the Jude Racing team (Adam Jude and Brent Daniels) that's been in NMRA and NMCA for a few years now as a Vortech car.
Main wrench turner and the one that'll truly make the car get down is my boy, Quint (deadhorse66). He and I will have a hell of a blast out there figuring out how to make this thing go down the track, haha.
Also on board is Dickson Graphics. We're are undecided on exactly what, but there will definitely be a new wrap on the car this year.
We'll post more pictures as they go, but here's a start. We got the car to the chassis shop about 2 months ago and this is where we are at right now.
Anyways, here's the pics. Isnt that what everyone wants to see anyways?!
Front to back I'll try to provide an update, haha.
In the front, we are running a Holley Hi-Ram 102mm setup. It's reversed and the firewall is dog-boxed to accept the new plenum.
Dont mind the wiring, that's all being re-done 100% as well
Inside the car, it's just a frenzy of cleaning up and cutting out the old cage. Per the NMCA rules, we'll be keeping the STOCK original doors that hung on the car, but removed them to make fab work easier for the time being.
Devlin is custom making the 25.3 chassis and you'll notice it's a big cage to fit me(6'6 240lbs.) The funny car hoop was also extended extra wide to give me the comfort in the shoulder area. The intercooler will now be a PT2400 sitting in a passenger sear(not pictured yet).
Of course, the make or break of the 25spec stuff is how clean the build the floor bracing. Here's the floor work on mine:
removable cross-brace
The rear of the car is getting a nice comfy set of tubs, and the burkhart narrowed 9".
Here's a pic of the car as it sits right now. Keep in mind the passenger side is about 1" too low, but damn it looks good. The passenger side is about where we expect it to run at.
here's a close up of the wheels we are running: Champion Double bead-lock Cap5.

Nice bulled bro .. I got the same wheels to they are bad *** ...
I was talking me and chuck burkhart chassis about your car today .. And he told me to let you know that your car looks nice and he says thanks for the parts that you got from him.
Keep up the good work ... And hope that we will meet one day in a race when my car gets done

Are you basing your build around RS rules? Seems like we all just keep coming to the party. Tim and I were talking about this the other night, and if things keep going like they are now, RS is going to get to be a really high car count class!
