  1. This is a more complex system than the basic install most folks do.  There are many safeguards I built into it to prevent engine damage.

  2. Made a test light panel to test the solenoid function without triggering the solenoids.  Blue is nitrous and red is fuel.  Simply unplug the...
  3. Easier ingress & egress while in the trailer when the door is off.  Made a bracket in the trailer to hold the door by the hinges and latch.  Door...

Front view really shows how the car designers from the thirties didn't pay any attention to aerodynamics.  Resembles a blue brick...

Was installing some data collection hardware when the insurance agent called wanting more photos.  Had to stop, reassemble the...
  14. Passed the AZ MVD inspection even with the wheelie bars sticking out the back and the plastic windshield and windows (I did remove the slicks).  And...
  15. Drove over to the painter today to help install the body (last time I hope).  Pushed it outside to get a photo.  The painter still needs to cut and...

  18. A shot of the delay box and data recorder cube that uses an SD card to record engine data.  The data recorder is not much bigger than a matchbox but...
  19. Shot of the shifter, the shift controller, and the dual 2-step rev limiters.  The trans is a manual shift auto based on the old Powerglide 2-speed...

  21. Engine diaper (NHRA required) to contain oil and shrapnel should the bottom end let go.  It contains an oil absorbent pad and will capture all the...
  22. Shot of the belly pan from the rear.  The bottom side has a smooth skin to help clean up the air flow under the car.  Still have to add the flexible...
  23. Hughes Performance said I'll need at least a 10,000 BTU/hr cooler for their Pro converter.  The 4500 stall speed creates much more heat than an...
  24. Painter has had the body for three-months now -- just can't rush perfection.  In the first month I kept playing with the clutch and could never get...
