Default Almost ready for some racing

Well I got the car out again today and did 2 heat cycles to the new rear and washed it.

10 point is in a painted and 95% of the interior is back in the car. I got my new Midwest fab 9 installed. Narrowed 2 inches per side back braced, aluminum center section, 3.70 gears, spool, Strange drag brakes and Greg Weld wheels on all 4 corners.

All I have left to do is finish wiring the Controller for my new Alky Control Meth kit and button up the interior and due 2 more heat cycles to the rear.

Jeremy Formato is tuning the car for the Meth on Friday and if the weather holds out Saturday I am gonna head down to Cecil for some racing. Thankfully I just picked up my own trailer last week so I am ready to do some racing

Here are a few pics

Yeah I know but you can't really see it at all because of the exhaust. I am hoping the weather is nice. The car will be getting trailered to get tuned so I might just leave it on the trailer over night and go racing in the morning. I am hoping for 9's too but I would be happy with a 10.2 first time out this year with the new set up

Your car looked great with the stock sleeper look, but that is badass looking. That stance is really cool with the narrowed rear. At least you dont have to worry about everytime you launch thinking(Is my 10 bolt going to explode).
