Right on Scott. I just got it today. I am very happy to see that. The guy got some of my parts wrong on his description of the car. It has A super victor intake, a Quick Fuel carb and Kooks headers. To set the ad straight for others that read it...

Here it is scanned out of the mag.

Thanks again for letting me buy it.

I will as soon as I get it back. It will be sporting new wheels too. MT ET's. They are going to make the car look a little different.

Dave, I didn't know it at the time, but that front bumper you put on there came from a guy Name Tim from Zionsville, IN. Is that correct?
Turns out that I met him on a local site and we are buddies now.. He is making me a chute mount/moly rear bumper bar for my car. I don't really know how many times I will be running 150 mph but I want it on there in case I do go that fast.

I am also want to make some sort of weight hangers on the rear for each side and middle of the car so we can add weight when needed to make certain races or if the track is slick. But with a wider tire and afco doubles, I don't think I will have a problem getting the car to hook.

Some pics of the mini tub work. It is close to being done and ready for some paint. The 8.8 rear end is cut almost 3" per side. It has a 15x10 5.5 bs MT et wheels with a 325/50 tire.

There is windows put in the shock panel to get to the shock adjustment at the top of it. It will have little doors that will cover the opening. I'm not sure how this is going to work out but I like the idea.

There is a problem with mounting the strange brakes on the 8.8. It has small bearing 9" ends welded to it and moser axles. I guess this setup will not work with this axle off set. My buddy is having a set of brackets made so it will work.

The motor also got moved back 1 5/8". The cars weight bias was 56% frt/ 44% Rr. I hope this along with adding the new rear end work and weight of the bottle in the rear seat area will put the car around 45% frt/ 55% Rr.

I picked my car up today. The work looks good. Now I need to get it tore down and paint the tubs/floor and axle housing. I like the access panels he made for the shocks. It would be hard to reach the top **** to adjust it from the bottom.
The motor got moved back about 1 5/8" also.
The car currently is at 2550lbs with out me and the glass hood. And no bottle in it or pass seat. But it had 6 gl of fuel in it.
2726lbs with me in it.
