The tin work in the trunk and the rear firewall will be complete today. Driver seat has been mocked up so the final pieces of the funny car cage can be built.
Hopefully all chassis work will be complete the end of next week so it will be off for paint. I'm going to seal up all the tin work with silicone then spray all the panels with a textured paint. Roll cage tubes will be painted a gray or dark gray color.
I could not find anything smaller than a 36" wheel tub. I didn't want a tub that looks like it belongs in Warren Johnsons car so I kept the outer stock wheel tub and we made a pattern to match. Then I had a local sheetmetal guy roll out some pieces to match the contour of the stock tubs.
Just a quick update. I've been busy on some side projects to pay for this one:biggrin: I rolled it out of the trailer today so I can get back to work on it.
Here's the new ride height. I'll be going to a TRZ arm/Santhuff coil-over on the front to get the nose down where it needs to be.
This is a 30" tire on the rear now. Back to the 295/65.

Looks awesome! Did you have to modify the body at the front of the wheel wells to fit the 30" tire?
ummmm wow, that should be a lot more fun when you run it out the back end.
I do feel a 6.90 at 200+ attempt coming on....
More pics please
Looks great Dusty!
Kinda cool to compare builds and see how fabricators choose different directions with their builds, but in the end, the outcome is very similar.
Good lick with your racing this season.
