Thanks Alan, that is a real compliment coming from you. I wish I had your metal work skills, I am still an amateur at 33. I know it takes years to acquire those skills.
My car is "stock appearing."
It will idle like "stock", has a "stock" stroke crankshaft, "stock" exhaust manifolds, etc. But, should run well into the 13's on repop poly glass tires. I've built it to look as good as I can get it with my limited work space and resources, and to race in the pure stock drags. When I finally get myself out of this financial slump and get another good job - I hope to build a real stock appearing car for the series. The SA cars have looser rules, that allow stroker engines, head & intake porting, increased compression, roller camshafts, etc. A few of them have gone 9's with stock exhaust manifolds and poly glass tires.
