"Outside the box" - how bout - "Outside the rules book."
No body can question the workmanship of this car but what about the legality. This car has not been tech-ed properly. Has NHRA determined this car to be legal? If so, can all cars be built to these specs and standards? Here are some obvious points.
1. Motor Plate
2. Motor / Mounts moved back
3. Radiator core support cut to allow front end removal
4. No stock wiring
5. No heater controls
6. Frame connected above the floor
7. Incorrect seats
8. Incorrect steering column
9. A-Frame adjustable stops

Beautiful Car - just not a what NHRA should consider a Stocker.

Bob

Are you sure about all those things you posted or was it second hand info?? Can't believe whats gets through Tech in NHRA or IHRA these days. Maybe its a New Class for IHRA Comp/Stock Eliminator? Anybody else look at the car and notice these violations??

Just wondering?

Are you kidding? Somebody needs to post some pictures to confirm. Starting with
#1 the book is specific; no motor plates or mid-plates accepted.
