Alex,

Do you ever have anything good to say it seems you don't. "Guess thats why you have been banned so many times". What your seeing in the photos is the heatmarks not the welds it turns the metal blue around the weld. Or if there was paint close by it turns it brown. Anyway none of the final welding is done everything is just tacked in. Let me know when you have some ***** to run on motor. Lets do it for alot of money so I can shut you up forever. No crying about you have this he has that run what ya brung first to the end wins.

George & I haven't been the friendliest (is that a word?) to each other in the past, but I'll say the welding & paint he did on my rollbar was very well done and clean.

Honestly no clue I know I am hoping my new power to be around 1000rwhp but the weight of the car will be the factor. Also that I am still stick so who knows ill be about 250hp more then I was so that should be low 9's high 8's. But my new bar is 125-150lb more then my old one so thats going to slow me down. Lets she what i end up with when its all scaled out. I just figuered if I am doing it might as well have it setup to go 7.50 incase the car shows more potential then I see it has. I think my race weight when all done gased up bottles on board ready to run it will be 3550 but i could be wrong we will see.

I dont need as much under the car as like your car would be because I am a full frame car with a center and outer frame. Only bar I have under the car is a crossmember from the 2 front points of the cage. The rear cross member I have up and over the tunnel. Because of the frame I dont need rocker bars because the frame is lower then my legs. I have factory firewall and door pillers so I dont need to run any cross braces under the car or a x brace.

This bar is easyer to get in and out of then my old bar. The door bar was way higher on my old 5 point. I was able to drop the door bar lower because I am running a way lower seat height. I sit very low in the car now.
