The chassis is powdercoated from firewall back, inside and out. Car has a killer paint job by Jim "Dr Dizzle" Plimpton of Authentic Automotive in Milwaukee that makes keeping it nice a lot easier. The car is set up on Pro Jacks after every race and gone over like it should and wiped down and inspected.

The hood is from Joe VanO in carbon composite. We have a very similar hood available now in high quality full carbon.

The wiring is available through us in any custom form you need it by Racewire Solutions. You will not find better quality or ease of install.

PM me a price on the hood.
Probably can't afford it now, but I could save my penny's this winter.
Been wanting a Joe VanO hood for ever.

Your parants are really nice people and you could tell they wanted to be there for the test hits, hope everything goes well and ill have to come check it out at the lsfest.

Thanks! Yeah my dad really wanted to be at the first test session but his trip to Myrtle Beach interferred with that...lol

Come see us at LS Fest...as of now we will be there running Outlaw Drag radial as the Shut your face class is gone according to Holley's website.

As Eric said, lots of time cleaning and wanting to take care of it. I powder coated the chassis to make sure all the cage and fab work done by Eric @ Midwest Chassis would always look killer...and then the car was completely painted. We didnt cut any corners on this build...and Eric @ Midwest Chassis can attest to that.

Electrical is all done by myself @ RaceWire Solutions and Trick Cable and Switch. If you can dream it, we can build it!

Yes, Eric's new carbon body parts he is selling are top notch. Nothing but the best IMO....cant wait to get one of his carbon roofs on my car this winter!

We had some promising numbers for no more passes on this combo. There's a few things to tweak but with some more testing and a fresh wax it should run up front!

What brand are the y-fittings on the coolant side? Both the black ones at the front of the car and the natural aluminum one in the car on the tank...

I hope it's Memphis or Holly Springs.
If not, Brian needs to put one of these on his calendar.
