If so, they haven't told me, and I work for 5.0.

I havent worked on mine in a lonnnnngggg time. But im finally installing a Flaming River Manual Steering shaft. Old one is real sloppy, and had lots of left to right play. Be nice to have a stable steering wheel, will and not feel like Im driving a 1960s dump truck with a worn out gear box. LoL

I am excited to get my car back from the chassis shop and get it home so I can start putting it back together!




Chrome Moly! Guess how much it cost to get this done......the interior was stripped out before the chassis guy got it....I started a thread about what this may cost about 2 months ago, consensus was that it would be about $4K........I paid less than that

Well that's $250 more than I was quoted for mild steel, so I'd say that's a pretty good deal

Bullitt347 it would be a good idea to get that cage NHRA certified before you put the interior in, if you're planning to race the car. That way it'll be easier to add the dash bar if they request it. I can't remember the rule on an 8.50 10-point either, but I thought that dash bar was supposed to be there.

Is getting certified a week from this Saturday.(Feb 2nd) No dash bar required. The guy who built the cage has done dozens of Fox Body cars this way and has had no issues with getting them certified. I appreciate the input tho.
