First off I’d like to give a big shout out to Whiteside Race Cars for some help he’s providing with Michelle’s Car!!! New Lexan windows and frames, wiring (2-step, line lock, trans brake), new driveshaft, scaling the car, etc. Thanks Alfred, you are the MAN!!!!

New drive shaft

Anti-roll bar reattached, new driveshaft installed. We’re getting really close to getting back down the track again!!! Unfortunately I have to take a trip for work in Feb so that will slow us down a bit.
I need to get some paint on that 3rd member, lol.

I would also like to introduce you all to the newest member of the family! This one is mine. Michelle said it was a belated Christmas present. I’m so happy, it has been a bucket list car for me since high school. If you know me you know that was a while ago, lol.

Elky looks cool, but now really jealous with the GN in the stable. Hope my wife is still hiding one present!

Congrats

Been following your post & my hats off to a beautiful build. The car has 10's written all over it. I'm guessing you have 26 in slicks w/ 4.10's & with a fairly tight convertor your going through the traps about 5800 which is the top of that cam and not letting those heads breath(your only putting out about 380Hp). The large runners are taking away from your bottom end and the 60's show it. With a rookie at the wheel it's a lot of car to handle as is and wouldn't do a thing right now but I would love to see a bump stick & converter change.

Now that's what I'm talking about !! - don't know what your car weights but that will put you well in the 10's

I'm betting it is still 3000lbs+, even with the fiberglass doors and lexan. It's getting scaled now, I will post up and let you know.
