looks good is it aluminum? kind of looks like it but can't really tell for sure. if it is you may want to bead roll it for stiffness.

It's Alum...i used .063 for the inner rail pcs and the rear quarter extension and tunnel are .100

The purpose of the square tunnel is so i can mount my shifter,Delay Box and electronics...

the aluminum is a little thick for tin work but it's not going to hurt anything. we use .040 every where. my tunnel is kind of octagon shaped which gives it a place for the shifter. nothing wrong with the square on. looks fine to me

Yea, I know it's thick..thats why im using it...also didnt want to bead roll it either..not much more on the cost or weight...

Very cool Dart, looks like a lot of fun. The tin work is nice, I wonder if the thicker material will keep if from rattling as much as the thinner stuff?

hey Billy, this might sound a little much..but have you got the car certified yet? If not, it should be done before(IMO) any of the tin work.

Just a reminder

thanks guys for the kind words...i has been a fun project..i just wish that i didnt have that 6 month period where i never got to work on Her...but now i have some time and should have all the interior work done in a week or so and then will finish up the motor. YES, the car has been certified to 8.50 NHRA

Ok...Last view from the Side window...AND YES... i know alot of you are wondering why i made yet another square area instead of following the rails all the way down..2 reasons... 1- the jump in elevation has now left me some room underneath the car to adjust my ladderbars..and also the have a place for my tunnel to tie-in to...Oh well,it is what it is.......
