This was from 2 weeks ago when we dyno'd it and took it to an 1/8th mile track.

Very nice, quality build, you can see just from the pictures that its profesionally built and fabricated. Great instal, would like to see it up @ New England Dragway.....The only thing i would do differently is put that engine in a 1967 Dodge Dart, or 67 Formula S Notch back Barracuda:w2:.....But Mad Props to you. I love that thing!:U:

would definitly love to have one of those.sweet build:5:

Thanks guys! I doubt we'll be at New England drag way, but you can fly out to Truck Fest August 1st and 2nd. We'll be there! If I do another car it'll probabaly be a ProMod 1963 Corvette split window body, or a 1965 Cobra. But that'll be a long time off. :w2:
