The shocks are made by JRI and are the ST/08

They are used in Pro Stock and really work killer. They were mounted of a tab style bracket that was made and it worked out really good. If I'm correct the are 19" overall and should really make the adjustment side of it easy.

We talked about making a whole new upper plate but kept it stock so people can see that the control arms in a stock location. I didn't want to have stuff questioned. Here is a close up of the tab.

Yes I have a few updates but to honest the shop / travel and home stuff has kept me quite busy and I haven't had a chance to post anything. I will try to sit down for a little bit this weekend and post stuff up.

I had planed on getting the car between the holidays and bring it home but I left it at DMC with hopes that he can finish it up for me by March. I do plan on getting it in late March so it can be ready to hit the track in May since I'm off that whole month. DMC has a paint booth inside the shop so I was just going to have them paint it and do most of the stuff and I would only have little things to do when I get it. I want to make some NMCA stuff when they come out to the mid west. I have 4 races with in 4 hours of my house and not on race weekends so I want to plan on going to a minimum of 2 or 3 of them.

Like I said I will get some update pics up once I get a chance. Thanks for the bump

Well guys sorry it took so long to post a update. I have a bunch of pictures and waiting on a bunch more from Dennis @ DMC Racing. So I sorted through what I got here and picked the best one's. I haven't got all the good pictures from him some shots are from his camera phone. I guess some are better then none. Well anyway time to move on.

Well a little bit back I posted a few pictures of the wing getting started. So here is what it looks like from start finish along with the parachute mounts.









So we were not a fan of how the carbon spill plates on the side of the wing looked so Dennis spent a little bit of time to fab up some new one's out of aluminum. I think they look real clean and fit the body lines way better.






In the last picture you can he also got the chute mount set up built and on the car. This is what the Chute mount & holders look like up close







Here is one with the chutes all mounted up and complete. I went with the spring launcher style just to not have to worry about the air set up. I think it is more of a fail safe set up and keeps it simple



Also I showed one with the dash in but here is a picture of the top. I think it couldn't have fit really any better then it did. I'm really happy with the look.





The floors got a buttoned up and welded. It takes no time to cut the floors out but it takes a lot of time to weld them back in. Here is a shot of it getting done. We tried to keep it as clean as we could and use the OEM metal as much as we could.



Non OEM part of it



The intercooler was mounted in the back and the charge tubes as low to the floor as DMC can get them. I wanted it behind me just in case anything was to ever happen to it. Exile Turbos built it and made the thing really strong so I think it will never be a issue but you could never be to cautious.







Next thing we changed was the ice box. Dennis gave it some thought and with the way we had the cooler in the trunk area I would have had to do to many things to service the car between runs. So Dennis thought putting it right up front between the charge tubes would help make it a much faster service plus help balance out the car. This is what DMC came up with and I think it will make my life a ton easier.









Alright guys. I have to run and will try and get some more up in the coming days. Thanks for looking and hopefully I can get more of them up soon.
