This project is my latest mess. I'm about a year into the build and just figured I would show everyone what I've done so far. I've done all of the fabrication work myself and a friend stretched my quarter panels and painted my roll cage. What does everyone think? The car will be driven on the street and I will compete in NMRA True Street. If everything goes according to plan the car should go Mid/High 8's easily.


Fuel Cell and Battery Mounting locations:




Stretched Quarters and 315/60/15 Drag Radials




Moser Fab 9 rear and Coil overs


Parachute Mount:


Through the floor sub frame connectors:


Manual Brake and Proportioning valve:


Test fitting block and trans:


I'll be mounting the air to water intercooler and piping in the next few weeks so check back for an update.

Looks great, and it sounds like she's going to be a bad bitch. Keep up the good work!

The thing is, I wouldn't be happy if I bought one already done, I would be changing things to make it my own. So what the hell. I have a 96 GT vert to drive everyday. I expect This project to be done some time next year.

Well, I bought my stuff here and there. All used except the pump. My rails and crossover hose are old school cartech as is my FPR. I bought lucas 75lb injectors from a member off this forum who is no longer around.. misc -AN fittings from jegs, stock main lines and a stealth 340lph in tank pump. My tuner says that'll support 450-500 rwhp all day long, and If I step ia little I need to run 1/2 lines from the tank to the front. As far as making lines, I just buy braided SS hose from Jegs or Summit, along with hose ends in whatever -AN size I need, and build the hose. It's really straight forward. If you have questions pm me..
