Time for a update

OK, the suspense is over...here's the update.

JHeath · 12-25-2020, 11:33 PM

I haven't posted for a while on here, but still working on it, back in March I started in the trunk area cleaned it up, drilled holes for battery trays, fuel cell, and weight box

It’s been a while since I looked but you might want to check weight box bolt size and number for the top. Everything looks great! It will be one cool ride.

The size looks OK but I think that you'll need 8 3/8ths bolts in the top. Also, no more than 100 lbs. including box.

I'm sorry but the rule book 2009 makes no mention of size or number of bolts to hold the top of the box on. I thought it did. Just old age playing a trick.

Don't feel too bad old man. My 2015 rule book only says 1(one) 3/8 bolt for each 5 lbs. of ballast. I'm only going by "aftermarket" boxes that I have in my shop.

Larry, you and Billy aren't wrong, this is from 1998 NHRA rule book, that was when I built my 89 Mustang stocker, I made a box with 6 bolts holding the cover on, this isn't in the more recent rule books.
