Looks killer Bro, but those long wheelie bars belong on a 7 second ride. 
You are right....first the chassis, then the power.

Anodized .... arent we trick...
No....just almost as cheap as paint plus keeping them light in color will make it easier to see under the car. If you want to see trick & fancy, you should see the tub liners.

Well Bill, We will see what happens. I really want to run this true 10.5 class here in Texas. They are running 4.90 to 5.0's, which translates to about 7.90's 1/4 mile. This is another reason I want to update the cage to 25.5. It was suppose to be done on this trip to the chassis shop, but ran out of time.

Just a couple of pictures to wet the appetite for the car's new stance. Will probably lower the rear another 1/2" or so with batteries, fuel, tubs and everything else back in place.
Car looks AWESOME!!!! I wouldnt lower the stance at all,I think its PERFECT!!!

I will have to see how much vacation time I have when Norwalk comes around. It's a great event that I will make if possible.

Looking good I like the stance, too. Seems to sit pretty level from the pics. You have probably mentioned before but I can not remember, what are you planning on for the power plant?
Looking to put a F1 procharger on the W8 engine....probably next winter. Will also have a water/air intercooler.

Ho-hum or unsuspecting? I perfer to think of it as unsuspecting, plus I can't miss it in the staging lanes.
BTW, that is the original medium copper metallic. Darkens up some under the sunlight.

That car is gorgeous, one of the cleanest, neatest I've seen. I said this before, but if you get a chance look it over, very well done .
Here it is at the 06 Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green KY.

Thanks for posting that pic Justin. Seems like a long time ago. That was when it had a really mild mannered 720hp W5 engine in it.
