422SS, nice to see it coming together When I there yesterday I asked where the car was and found out it was on it's way back from having some stuff done at the chassis builder. The car looks great in person and who needs high res shots when you see it up close and personal.

That baby is gonna rock, I can hardly wait to hear some times out of it . I assume you have already done the depends mod?

Are you to make a few shakedown passes on motor first before spraying? How are you handling the nitrous? Going to work up the shots or go all out with a 300-500 shot right away?

Nitrous freaks me out, I'd probably set the car up to run all motor myself LOL or a big blower

I'm going to make several motor passes before spraying.I see us starting out at 300 and moving up from there.I have never ran nitrous before and if I don't like it,changing to all motor wouldn't be too difficult.Selling the short-block and DP system and replacing it with a bombproof iron-block with a big thumper comes to mind also. If business stays good the turbo combo will be a reality,if not I'll run what I have.
Panhard brace is gone.That picture was taken a long time ago.
