The GM will be legal to run 10 seconds flat with this mod. I am hoping for mid 10s with the car but have to figure out how to get the power to the ground next!:thinker:

Here are the pictures of the roll bar painted. The side bars are out being powder coated. New slicks that are radials will be next week. We will start putting the interior back in now. Should be ready for SSHS but may not have the NOS in it.

You should see it in person. Johns car is VERY tastefully done.

His other car i would gladly trade one of my nuts for... But I doubt he has a use for it and I'm out of cash.
