Sorry for the hiatus. Been trying to figure out what to do next.
I got a few estimates to make her 25.2 legal along with a back half.
The drive train is in great condition. Actually fired right up and drove her into the garage! The frame never hit the wall, she flipped onto her lid and came to a rest without touching the wall.
1) I could redo the entire setup and run Outlaw with a stock front suspension, replace the body with a donor (already have one lined up...thanks Jerry!).
2) Or start with something more aerodynamic... it's going to be about the same cost.
3) With the body removed, cut the cage out, install a cage to SFI 25.3 certification (so that I can legally go sevens). I was going to redo the cage anyway (after the new NHRA rules it was only good for 8.50).
#3 would be the least costly and get me on the track by 2nd quarter of 2009 and continue to develop the car to run quicker and faster with the stock suspension.
#1 or #2 would be ideal in that I want to run 6's at over 220 mph.
I'm open to opinions.
