Big thanks to my brother Andrew (topfueldart), he has helped me do the majority of the work and let me use space in his garage on countless occasions to build the engine and do other tasks along the way.





Its been entertaining, even the stuff that didnt go right, and the late nights make for good memories, stories, and experience.

Geez guys give it a rest, Dustin spent a lot of time and physical effort to lose a bunch of weight and now all this praise and back slapping-his head is going to be so swollen he'll be at twice his original size. In all seriousness to those who called Dustin a hotrodder, he is a lot more than that--he is a RACER much like some of those who would sleep in their car or truck at the track-no fancy toter or motorhome, then get up in the morning and run a bunch of .00 reaction times thru out the day. By the way, ya did good buddy car looks like means business.

Now if you could just get that dang glove box door fixed, you might have something!



Congrats on the build, Dustin. I thought my car was fairly stout on the street, guess I gotta be on the watch now for red Darts.....

I weighed the car this past weekend. Its a tank, needs to go on a diet, but apparently its making good power!

3500 with me in it and probably 15 gallons of 92 on board.

Kirkey Pro street seats, 17" I think

Mounts I don't have any decent pictures of. Basically just built L's one side flat on the seat, one flat on the floor and bolted them together to get the angle how I wanted it.

I'm tall and have a long torso, so thats how we got the seats low enough for me to drive the car with a helmet on and have room to spare.
