Hey Mack; had hoped you'd make the Valdosta National Open. Look forward to seeing it out next year. Bring up your Cuda for S/ST if you can.

Did I mention I weigh 145? LOL.

The car looks incredible Mack! Nice job.

When are you going to add the cutouts through the grill for the headers?

Very Nice Car. As far as the weight, mine weighed 3040/50 with 5.9 and no driver and an 8 3/4 rear, 727 sb, & whatver else. 145 lbs. My leg weights more than that. Louisiana Revised Statues RS:1245;A;(12) (b) reads; No driver less than 260 lbs may compete in NHRA events without a penalty of buying beverages for the drivers that do weigh the proper amount. I swear that's true. Call if you need anything.

Alan, there IS a long story about his comment.... Sometime when we are talking face to face I will let you hear it.... ;);) Mack

Yea, you're going to hear about it for sure. I don't know if you'd be better off going stealth or maybe just go with the in-your-face approach. I'd go with the latter and use nice bright stainless bezells around the collectors.
