Got the body panels made that go frommnose to front of axle. Being of good taste has its problems. Making the parachute body with cage enclosed is going to take little more than 9 hr day like the rest of the body did. Still have to mount it with dzus fasteners and tabs then to roll the recess for panels.

  Must be getting old those 14 hour work days seem to have more of a toll than they use too.heck more toll than those 22 hour days use to have.

Bad thing about that nitro. You may start small but more times than not you will end up trying full load at some point.

 It kind of like your sex life once you get the real stuff the hands just about useless.

Man 47k in 23*sbc.I guess I'll have to stick with aluminum hemi junk.may limit class' I can run but cost is right,already sitting here.  Wonder what Parks had in the 383 that Scott ran 6.77@197 with? I know the cars light but those numbers do not come cheap.

Nope never.Always like to have options. Bad part(or not) of drug out build,to much thinking time.My wife says Im like the old comerial About a good mind is terrible thing to waste.Except mine is dangerous or expensive thing to use,sometimes both.


 Trying to cover all bases as far as brackets go.Plus you have to have hand brake,where else are you going to  mount the fuel shut off handle?

Oh yea the motor limiter bar and bracket. Not big things but hey its progress.

Can not say for sure,but we know there where non as famous as Jungle Pam,which maybe why we never heard of the rest.  Close look at her and shes not gorgeous but had one heck of body and from stands thats about all enyone could really see. I hear she had a face also but never got that high while watching her,cpl things keep destracting me.

 Interested in seeing answer to the OP question.

 Is it Brodie thats doing the backup girl now. Bad for sponsorship,I never see the car.
