NHRA Super Pro Street Legal Drag Racer

  1. Everything is stripped off the car for the painter. Did a final fit of the rear fenders with drag slicks on to make sure there would be no...

  2. The M/T wrinkle wall drag slicks give the car some attitude. Car is ready for the painter and is in his queue right behind a custom truck. Maybe...

  3. I though about simply leaving the inner door open as this is a race car not a show car. However, it's easy enough to fabricate some simple aluminum...

  4. When I first built the roll cage I made sure I had clearance between the door bars and the inner door panels. A year later and the body has moved...

  5. Having fun with my choice of outside mirrors.

  6. Glass and power window mechanisms add performance robbing weight. Therefore, I'm adding lightness by using 1/8" polycarbonate instead of glass. ...

  7. Body on for final fit before paint. These are the street tires & wheels. The rear fenders will have to be opened up a bit to fit the drag...

  8. Added aluminum brackets to capture the door hinge shoulder bolts making it easier to remove and install the passenger door. Bless all those guys and...

  9. Hard to see but there is a valve mounted under the master cylinders. This is what I'm using for a parking brake. You step on the brake pedal and...

  10. The RacePak gauge panel mounted on the FFR removable dash. Yes the dash is removable by turning five 1/4-turn self ejecting fasteners but I decided...

  11. Bonded the top on with 3M panel bond. I've always had good luck with 3M products so contacted a 3M technical expert for advice on a product they...

  12. Added a brace to the wheelie bars. They come without braces and I know folks run them that way but that just didn't seem sturdy enough.

  13. Shaped the front fenders and test fit. They looked way cooler before I started trimming but it was impossible to remove the wheels.

  14. Switched gears while waiting on fiberglass repair materials and started rough fitting the trunk lid. It turns out that that was a mistake as once...

  15. Started the body work. Need to permanently bond the top on the body and mikeinatlanta provided a procedure. Started the sanding and fitting work...

  16. Waiting on parts -- again. So I decided to scale the rolling chassis. With 5-gallons of fuel, no wedge in the suspension, and no driver it weighs...

  17. The RacePak IQ3s digital gauge display is wired and temporarily hung on the windshield bar. It will reside on the removable FFR dash panel once the...

  18. The switch and gauge panel is finally done. The last switch actuator finally arrived after the USPS lost the first shipment. I had to add turn...

  19. Wired and fired. Started the engine for the first time in the car. I had run it on a test stand and tuned the low speed and intermediate circuits...

  20. Hard to see in the photo but the wiz-bang 1200-deg coating I had put on the headers blistered and burned off before I could even get the timing set. ...

  21. The fuse panels and relays mount to a removable backplane and were pre-wired prior to installation. Then the switch and gauge wiring was terminated...

  22. The switch & gauge panel mounts on the trans doghouse. The actual digital dash panel will mount on the now removable FFR dash panel just behind the...

  23. Switch & gauge panel is complete but not installed. Ran out of switch connector plugs for the rocker switches. A few loose ends to take care of and...

  24. Before buttoning up the doghouse cover I fabricated a mount to add a NC switch to use for disabling the nitrous oxide injection when in 1st gear. ...

  25. Throttle linkage & cable installed.
