Thanks Justin!

Stopped by this morning. Removed 1.5 inches from bottom of tank and relocating the oil drain. Rough mounting complete.

So after reading all through this, I hate my life, I hate my project....scew you!

Actually his is one of the absolute most cool builds I have ever seen. I think the closest thing I can think of to it is Big Red but this is that to the next level for sure. In fact I would love to see some head to head at the Silver State or something like that when it's done.

Quick question on the Watts link, I've seen systems that mount the pivot on the rear end and then each bar to the chassis and then ones like yours the mount the pivot to the chassis. Can you or someone explain the benefits and liabilities of each?

This build reinforces that my next build of a track car will be a tube chassis - start from scratch....

That - or for about 40 grand I could buy a Cup car...

Next car a tube frame car....

I have had several guys tell me once you drive a tube
frame car you will never want to go back.. kinda like driving
a car with Horsepower then trying to go back

Very cool stuff going on with this one

Wow man--that's serious progress! Love the exhaust and the tin work. Can't wait to hear that motor sing---make sure videos are a planned part of this threads future.
