The LCA's are in the same position, just moved in for tire clearance... so this is still considered stock suspension

The car is just about ready for the paint shop... the class I am running does not allow wheely bars... however the car is being setup to work with one in case we want to really dial up the boost... it will also accept a 29.5W tire...

I drove to Detroit today to meet up with Ronnie Duke @ Hardcore Racing... he had the exact hood I have been looking for in stock... interesting guy... he showed up in the parking lot with his helicopter which is painted to match his race car! There is not much left to do at the Chassis Shop... it's got an appointment with Champion Auto Body on Wed for a fresh coat of paint...

Correct... I could either order it from Van O and wait forever or do 9 hours of driving today and spend $150 in gas... I chose the 2nd option
