Re: finished my new ss/tb truck
Love it!!
Dave - That was going to be my question, too. What is the rule regarding fabricated housings? I thought that was a no-no. I don't have my rulebook handy, so hopefully, someone can clarify.

Re: finished my new ss/tb truck
Marky , best of luck ! The truck looks awsome . It was great to see you back in the seat and excited last week . Sure wish I could run a cowl hood in SS/GT like you Blankedy blank modified trucks !

Very clean Mark! Can't wait to see it in person. Are you going to make it to Epping this weekend?

Re: finished my new ss/tb truck
I think if you look around, there a few cars running SS/GT and using a cowl hood...in NHRA

Re: finished my new ss/tb truck
Wow! That's an amazing job then. There must be added bracing along the back of it too?? Looks completely fabricated...even the fill plug on top!!
Doesn't look like the housing is rounded in the back at all either. ???

Re: finished my new ss/tb truck
Beautiful truck. As for the housing - we all know that you cannot run a fabricated housing. And, if you think they won't check - NHRA made me change the one in my GT/B Beretta and also checked our FJ Smith Firebird - came to the conclusion that his housing wasn't totally fabricated and let it pass.

Re: finished my new ss/tb truck
I think it has to have the factory pumpkin, the tubes are not original I believe. Gonna have to take a pic of mine to compare. My first time out last year I was questioned by a couple of racers. Passed tech everytime. I am going to have to ask him, don't want to put my foot in my mouth.

Re: finished my new ss/tb truck
Larry - I sure think a guy would want to avoid any "grey" area as much as possible. If there's ever any question, they usually send you home to think about how to correct it! :-) That truck is eye-popping...hope all goes well.
