Default Update on Red Dogg

2/5/03

Car is shortly going to be moved to Alston Racing to have the existing 6 pt roll bar converted to a 10 pt cage. Also will be installing an angle design window net with the buckle style clip.

From there the car will be moved so that I can do the following:

-Install longer front wheel studs (Moser)
-Remove 4.11 gear and install either 3.50 or 3.70 gear
-Install beefier rear swaybar
-Clearance front calipers so I can remove the front spacers
-Paint front clip (VFN WS6 hood, 25 lbs bolton style)
-Reinstall carpeting
-Install drag seats or front drag brakes

Car will be going to the RT66/NHRA chassis certification day in March so I am trying to get it all done in time.

We will redyno the car sometime in March for the last time since I will be making slight revisions to the combination. This will be the fifth dyno session.

Here is the car right before I had it moved last week:

Good to see......just make sure they match that front clip, don't want it to look too red........

What type of swaybar are you using in the rear?

I have a stock one in the back right now.

I have not decided what I will run in the back yet.
