Excellent work! It's really cool (and a great feeling I'm sure) when someone does all their own work to their car.

Man that is awsome, bet it was scary as hell cutting that much out of the car initially though.

I know that id be worried, until it was all together

Thanks guys.

as for the fuel set-up, I have a drag cell in the car. 2 -8 lines into 2 old school canister filters. 2 -6 lines out of those into dual 255 inline walbros. the 2 -6 lines from the pumps Y together into a -8 pushlock hose to the front. kp gave me his old stock fuel rails to experiment with, so I drilled out the pulse damper and all the crap behind it and had a -8 steel fitting tig welded to the shell of the pulse damper and hooked up the -8 feed. since the vette has a nice -6 braided line from the firewall to fuel rail, I spliced a -6 cas regulator into it. I then used the factory line for the return. it hasn't moved off of the 60lb baseline setting yet.

I'd like to make the bg race, but there is no class for me to run in except for the bracket class. I can stay home and run brackets. that and the fact that I only have a 6pt rollbar in the car. I refuse to make it a full cage since the roofbars will show and look like crap with the targa out. I guess I will just stick to test and tune nights.

Well, you are correct since we do not currently allow back halved cars. We will be looking at a possivle change to that for next season though. Feel free to come and run exhibition runs though! There will be a few other exhibition type cars there too.

Looks amazing!!

Have you tuned the car yet? What are you expecting to run? What is the weight of the car without driver?

Can you post pics of the completed interior, specifically the trunk area?
