I thought I would post some pics so people could follow the build. Is that OK, and if so what section is the right place to post them in? Thanks.

I honestly was beginning to worry about you. For some reason you poped in my mind the other day, and that usually means I should check on somone. "outstanding" may be to strong a term. But thanks. Pics coming in a few.

This car came in for a new C/M cage on his chassis/rails. While he was at the shop he looked around and asked "how much to have that done to the Duster"? He was pointing a Jerry Haas ex-prostock car we had there for some updates and paint. That's how it all started. The work has actually progressed quite far now, but I will post pics from the beginning so we can all follow along. Thanks for the interest and allowing me to share my passion for what I do with you all. Enjoy.Paul @ JCR Chassisworks Weirsdale, Fl. 352-516-6183 Dealer for:TRZ, Glasstek, Harwood, Champion Wheels, Aerospace Brakes and components, MSD, and many others.

I raced it like that for a few years and the guy sold it and we went with a new undercover dragster.

Done quite abit since you were here last, but Tommy keeps adding to the build, and I have lots of small jobs that need to come and go. Not real sure on the motor, he had something going with indy as you know, I know he had give them some sort of deposit. He told me the other day to get with Pete at best machine on the motor plate, so it looks like he's back with them.

JCRVETTE OP member Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 73 1/2hr south of Ocala, FL	Then sublime is the color I'm thinking of. Also, a note about the chassis/car construction. We have built just about everything in house with the exception of some brackets and tabs. Even some of those were made here, but resemble commercially available stuff. There was no kit, every tube came off the rack and was bent here, and the chassis is our design, based off some of the best features of Mcamis, Bickel, and RJ. Also the chassis is in mock-up mode, and alot of the tube and misc. haven't been done yet as I like to be sure it's all going to come together before I go to extremes. Thanks for the reply's and kind words.

The scoop is for another car in the shop. The Duster is getting one of the new P/S style scoops. Do you think the wood blocks are SFI? LOL
