I previously posted some exterior pics in the Appearance forum but know my racing brethren rarely visit there

Here's a couple of shots -

Looks badass man. Asides from the big n littles you really can't tell it's a 9 second car from the exterior. Very very clean.

looks great...is that a 28x10.5? fits very nice. you have a enw short block in it this year don't you? i like how you have the progressive controller in the dash, i think i'm gonna have to do mine similar. i was planning on putting it in the console but it is a little more funtionally correct having it in plain view and easily reached. NICE car man...

Thanks Nate - the bumper stripe of asphalt from the Atlanta dragstrip gives away a slight hint too

30 x 10.5 with a little nip 'n tuck to help them fit. It's really nice being able to reach the controller while you're staging, makes last second adjustments a breeze. Yes to the new motor, 408 on gas

Looks good. Wheelie bar tucked up under there gives it away too lol. I've never seen anyone run the cage around the dash like that. Any reasoning behind it or was it just so you did not have to remove the dash to install it?

The cage ended up going in front of the dash solely due to the timing of the install and an event I had to be ready for.

Thanks y'all. Oh, and Derek Yeah, I think I'm all ready now.

The bars are a Bickel chromoly set that I picked up through Madman. They were installed NHRA Super Stock rules so they don't extend past the bumper.
