    I wanted Light weight. so that bumper is rubber (not sure what its out of) I going to use the center hole for Trany cooler and the two side hole's for ram air.
    Same with the back valance its made out of a rubber front air dam I had laying around

    I'm not sure how fast its going to be I'm hoping low 13's but well most likely be low 14's high 13's.. its going to be a 302 dome piston, RPM cam, E street heads, roller tip rockers, Elect water pump, ballanced bottom end, stock stroke, C4 transmission , 8" with mini spool. inside is striped out.

    Dog ... we have a problem with her eating.. we have cats and she eats there food and won't eat her's.. Very, very picky eater infact she think she's a cat for the most part..
    take care

    Looks like some good cheap fun. Not out to impress just do what you want and have some fun with what you got. Sometimes I wish I had a cheap beater I could could gut and just put a budget drag motor togethor and go racing. Would be fun to race and beat some fancy and pretty high dollar cars with a rattle can car and a junkyard motor on juice.
