question.... is that NHRA legal? i thought the bars had to come from the top of the roll bar. throught the glass? or because you have a full cage you can do it that way?

...just a simple question...

if you are, as your screen name implies 2 fat guys, how are you going to get over/around the support rails inthe door openings...doesn't look too "fat-guy" friendly!

Keep up the good work...hope to see it done soon at some of the events up here in Grand Haven area this year!

Good question..........trust me........we are 2 fat guy's!!

The door bars when all is said and done are going to be swing out's. So they will be fat guy friendly. Good lookin out though!! I am sure you will see us out this year, stop by and say hi.

The way I understand it is, with the full cage you do not even need to have the rear bars at all. We had a IHRA tech inspector approve it before we did it, so hopefully that means it good to go.

Looking awesome will i see it at woodward this year ??

Can i offfer some advise on the masking tape - Remove it as soon as possible. Learn from my mistake. From the heat of welding and temperature changes my ending up cementing itself to the primer. We switched to the blue and even the green body shop tape to protect finishes.

My painter strongly suggest going with the green expensive stuff.

We will see you out on woodard for sure.

As for the tape.......it's not masking tape. It is a special body tape that comes right off with no problems. Thanks though for looking out.

Not sure if we will be in your league. I've heard you have a bad bitch! Didn't your truck go 9.40's or so?? I only hope we can be that fast, someday

BTW, look over at our location.........that should tell you all you need to know :lol:

Thats why I wrote that. I don't know how many races you guys are going to get on Gratiot, with a Syclone. I thought I already had everyone running scared

I had alot of races this year with it. No one confused it with your truck...........mine was too slow for that.
