Why would u need wipers to be a "street car"?Real Street in Brainerd.
Stock style suspension
No tubs

Finished interior
Exhaust to behind drivers seat with muffs
DOT tires on the rear
Horn
Wipers
Functional windowsThose are off the top of my head.
The next class is King Street.
They allow back-halfed cars/modified suspension. -

Very nice looking welds! Props to 63vette. Cant wait to hear them.
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 -

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.Jim

We finished the exhaust today, and the last of the beer too, good timing on our part.
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.

Just thinkin safety bro.Axle is hanging, when on the ground the axle is 4" higher. Maybe baby turndowns but Bill wants to wait to see how much of a turndown it needs. Good eye though.
Its freaky how fast they dissipate heat. I put over 180 amps to it for over a minute when welding the hanger on and with a little air flowing over it, I picked it up after 2-3 minutes and it was room temp.
