She is a 235" long 1872lb(with driver)bouncing baby Racetech 4link car with a 557" BB Mopar. We plan to have a little fun with it for awhile then???? Anyway here she is..

Likely crazy paint and all. Anyone who knows me probably figured it would be that way from the get go, but I kept telling myself to just get it done and run it. But alas the other side of me has taken over and things are getting carried away. I can tell you know changing a car from a Pro Stock car to even a TS car takes a lot of changes and that mean a lot of $$$ But rest assured we are making progress on it.

His claim that they run straight as a string is pretty much true , but it meant I'd have to stop cutting up nice clean steel bodies and I wasn't prepared to make that sacrifice. Great looking car.
