    Yep, that's Brownstorm. I'm glad it inspired you, it was a ton of thrashing for a year solid to build a new one (I crashed my other Mav).

    And I'm stoked you plan on making some races too, I'll definitely get to see it in person then. What combo? What class? Xtreme Street??? That would be awesome. We'll definitely do a feature on it in FSC when it's finished.

    My car it getting a bunch of stuff this week too; the cage, fiberglass bumper with alum. supports, Cal Tracs, a Dzus fastened grill support, sub frame connectors, matching M/T wheels and new slicks. Hope to run in the 9s at the PSCA race in March.

    I'm not sure what class it will fit yet because I want to run a procharger with clutchless 5-speed liberty and alot of the classes now have to be automatics which make's no sense?? It has ladder bar and 10.5 tire stock frame rails. maybe you can suggest a class for me?? Thanks alot. Eric

    Well, the Liberty will limit you to only the Outlaw 10.5W class, Super Street.

    With an auto, you could probably run XS depending on the details of your engine components because the ladder bars are legal as well as the F1R supercharger. That class will run 8.00-8.20s, Super Street runs 6.90s-7.20s.

    Thanks for the view of the arm rest Eric. That was exactly what I wanted to see. I have to start my cage here in the next couple weeks, but I was worried about clearance for the handles. I love the way you have it hidden!

    I never thought to ask, but you don't have a v-gate for sale do you?

    I certainly will Eric! Thanks!

    Oh and it looks like I found a v-gate here locally on Craigslist for $80!
