NHRA Super Pro Street Legal Drag Racer

  1. The slash cut mufflers exit in front of the doors.

  2. Headers back from the coater and installed with the shorty mufflers.

  3. While waiting on parts for my switch panel I jumped on the headers and mufflers to finish them off and send to the coater. Had to modify the right...

  4. Trans doghouse cover completed but not installed. Still need to fab a gauge & switch panel that will be mounted on the doghouse. Waiting on...

  5. Did as much of the wiring as I could without the gauge and switch panel. Looks like a can of worms now but it will look much better once the wires...

  6. Time to quit for the day. Must be getting tired as I cut this panel twice and it's still too short.

  7. Grill all polished and installed until the engine has to be removed in a couple years for SFI recertification of the clutch, flywheel, & bell...

  8. Taking a break from the build and leading my posse (my sons) on a ride through the Grand Canyon. It's a 3.5-hr ride round trip from my house and a...

  9. Inverting the QA1 shocks requires longer coil caps to prevent the springs from rubbing each other.

  10. Inverting the QA1 shocks puts the adjusters at the top where they're easy to access. Guess I need a real camera instead of my smart phone if I'm...

  11. Set caster & camber with my Rebco Camber Caster gauge. No batteries to go bad -- runs off gravity. I'm not a fan of battery powered devices that...

  12. 20 deg tabs makes setting caster & camber easier.

  13. Engine & trans going in again -- this time it should stay for up to two-years when the clutch & flywheel have to be re-certified to SFI specs again. ...

  14. Past the 3000-hr mark on this build. If I recall, it's supposed to take around 300-hrs to assemble the kit version (less body & paint). I'm...

  15. I adapted a quick release hub to the FFR supplied steering wheel. I like the looks of the steering wheel so decided to use it. This car is way too...

  16. Assembled the brake fluid feed lines and now waiting on the F & R pressure transducers and solo bleeder valves to show up so I can finish the brake...

  17. I could't find a collapsible steering column to fit my needs so I fabricated a custom one. It also gives me the option to telescope adjust the...

  18. Marking and making the elliptical hole for the steering shaft was a challenge. Calculating a center-point in space with little spacial reference and...

  19. It took some work to get the QA1 coil-overs, the wheelie bars, and the watts link all to fit and play nice with each other. Looks like plenty of...

  20. Not sure I like the wheelie bars without cross bracing but that's the way they sell them.

  21. Another beautiful day in Temberline so I pushed the car out to take some progress photos for my build file. That grill / radiator assembly weighs...

  22. Now that the chassis is done and painted it's time to start assembling things. After getting it on its wheels so I can roll it around the shop I...

  23. Didn't like the idea of not having a fan shroud so I fabricated a fan shroud that the fan mounts to.

  24. Check out the black line that runs the length of bone in the tip of my middle finger and into the joint. The technical term for this is a "Social...

  25. Fabricated a belly pan and installed it with ¼-turn fasteners (test fit for now). This will help clean up dirty air under the car. It will be one...
