The car has a quick disconnect nose that is held on by Dzus fittings so that we don't mess up the paint when doing any work on it.

Did you use stock front end parts to make the one piece nose? Do you have any pics of the inside of the nose piece?

Yes, we used the stock body parts. Mark can probably post a pic, he has all the build photos.

I'd love to see pics of how the front nose is setup with the dzus fasteners. Any mounting pics would be great. From the looks of the pics you don't notice the dzus fasteners.

Thats one of the nicest drag radial cars i have seen in a long time. I go to world street nationals in orlando florida every year just to see all the new stuff. You should look into running, you would fit right in

congrats and enjoy it!
