I was flat toeing it and the best I can tell is that the exhaust systems must have hit something ripped off and part of it waged itself between the road and the tail shaft.78 se trans am,67 rs ss camaro,69 BBO Javelin,55 chevy and a bunch of other junk that needs finished.

Looks pretty much the same as when I bought it!

Roll bar rule from current or maybe 2013 NHRA book. Still correct. I would make it a six point as the chassis stiffening s worth it even with a swing out bar on both sides.

What about lower seat belt mounting? I have a 5 way harness, the top two straps are connected to the bar behind the seat. Can the others be bolted thru the floor board?
Thanks

I'm close enough now I hope to go get some TNT Wednesday night with the ol 4.8 turbo stang. It probably won't be that great on et's as it will be its first outing to track since the build and it will be all about figuring out launch rpm and boost on the transbrake and dialing in the holley boost controller.78 se trans am,67 rs ss camaro,69 BBO Javelin,55 chevy and a bunch of other junk that needs finished.
