Cool pics.

Roddy aka Victory Red SS should be pissed...even with Hurricane Katrina involved, this build is further along than his with JBP & Co. at the helm.

I have seen it and I have also seen this one

Neither of them bother me. My car is being designed to drive on the street and track (drag/road course).
A strictly track car was never my intention.
I don't like the scoops either but for the engines they are running I guess they are best.

LOL. Are you kidding? I think the scoop and rims are more for functionality. I dont think they are worried about taking 1st place in the show class at nopi.

Yeah the scoop isn't very attractive, but the whole hood weighs about 5lbs. But I have always liked those rims. It is the love child of a Cobalt and a Pro Stock car.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the chassis/rollcage/rwd conversion?
I would like to compare it to what I am paying for mine. A PM is fine. Thanks.

didn't he say it took 8 months to have the work done with no drivetrain. I am only at 7 months for that part, it was everything else I have been waiting for.
Iwaited 4 months for pistons from the states, I am waiting 9 months to get cranks from the states.....

I could go on, but I need to go send some money to my car. It's hungry again.
