Car look great ,should be a blast.  So how long on build and if under my 3 years you suck.  Let us know how she runs,maybe have someone take picture of you w/o helmet on return road after your first pass. Not much more satisfing then first good pass on new car,well maybe first race won with new car.

Get rid of that tab/bracket on the left hand side upper frame rail. Very dangerous in a crash. Do you also have a back end shot of the car?.Other than that ---have fun

The bracket for fuel shut off cable,which I could not use. If I go to mechanical fuel injection in the future,I would use. Maybe put padding around it. I am maybe looking at low 8 second,once I get used to and dialed in. Here is a picture of the back,minus wheelie bar. First full pass will be very exciting and I am sure my first words will be holy sh** . Can't wait :) HRR at Mo Kan Dragway,not big like the others,but fun.

Cool looking car. What are you using for the throttle pedal assembly? Looks like cable comes out the back and loops around behind. I need sometning like it for my altered that I am working on.

Then cut that bracket off and deal with the fuel shut off mount later ,besides creating a better design that wont injure you in a crash. and second whats up with the shoulder strap mount(s), cant figure out what you are doing there either. Just trying to save you some hassle in tech.

Second look , on your chute release arm pivot, turn the bolt around so that the threads are not hanging down in the drivers area, you want the drivers cockpit to be as smooth as possible,no snags or sharp impailers. Been building cars for 35 years trust me on this
