The Red Rocket is back underway! I have taken about 4 weeks off but progress is back underway! I will keep you guys posted as the tale of the KTS Chassis unfolds!
I took the car from this at the Autorama:
To this:
Now that I have completed the grunt work under the direction of Dave, it is time for him and the crew at KTS to turn this 9.00sec chassis into a 7.50sec chassis.
I will continue to post the project progress. Tomorrow I have to get some measurements taken for the seat placement and funny car bars.

All to true!!! When the car looks like it does at this point it is easy to get discouraged but with progress comes encouragment. It is definately the dark times for me right now and I am not even talking about the chassis.

Ya, I heard the Red Rocket comment before! Maybe I should have that painted on the side of the car! LOL!! I would like to race at BG for sure. I need to have the chassis done in about 3 weeks, then 1 week for paint (might just go with primer for now), 2 weeks for electrical and plumbing, 1 week for final assembly, 1 week for de bugging, 1 day of TnT and then maybe I will be ready to make some passes in BG. We will see.
Here are some updates from todays progress at KTS Chassis:
I will keep you guys posted on the progress!
Thanks for the nice words, and the APE sticker will be gone.
