                            You should sell those?

                                      Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
                                      Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
                                      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
                                      Torque is how far you take the wall with you

                                        Thanks, I appreciate that a lot. I am still figuring aluminum out,as is Bill.
                                        Its easier but weirder than chromemoly. We are getting better with aluminum every weld.
                                        I am building a positioner/rotator so the welds on the next sets will be much nicer.

                                          Call me cooky but with the muffs aimed like that and the distance from your rear end, arent you worried about boiling your brake fluid hence hampering your braking from a fastasfuk 1/4 run? Or any other time for that matter. Not to mention the wiring you have running on the pass side. It's really hard to judge distance from the pics but, it would be interesting to see how hot it would get there after a good blast down the track. Just thinkin safety bro.
