Question - Is that rollbar good enough for the dragstrip, ya know.... how fast can you go with it before they track officials toss ya out?

The car looks sinister with those blacked out rims. Can't wait for some video footage.

That "chassis" bar looks great... nice install. Word of warning... your fuel tanks are right below the area you're welding in in the rear. Be careful welding w/ them in the car. Many pull them out before welding a "cage" or similar thing in place.

I remember reading that when I saw some shots of EGs cage, can they be pulled out through the wheel wells or do I have to drop my driveline again?

I really don't know man... you might want to call a shop like phoenix performance (they build most of the T1 race cars in the country) they're in phoenixville, PA. They would be able to give you the best advice.

What size wheels are those on the back, and the front for that matter? I'm getting ready to order some new wheels, MCM, and I cant decide if i want to spend the time to fab up another turbo kit or go with just a maggy and some LTs.

Thanks
