I love how the i/c piping is actually bolted to the fender and runs through a piece of plate steel for rigidity. Being a chassis shop you know the dash, interior, engine bay, suspension and cage are going to all be top notch craftsmanship and the parts will too. I'm still drooling over this, love it can't wait to see what it runs.

I don't think we will be running DR. We will be on a 275 tire. Plus we are way underpowerd for DR. Not sure what we will run yet.

Very nice work steve!!! It sounds tough man pushing 161 mph, you have one quick car on your hands. Personally not to sure about the lack of the top rad support, but hell your have a great reputation as a chassis builder, what would I know!!!
Good luck, you have a well turned out car!!!

We have more support in the front than from the factory. The bumper support is a lot more solid than what was there with the upper and lower rad supports. We also have the turbo support going between the frame rails.
