I have already gutted my interior. Maybe I will look at doing this in the future!

really? U gutted your daily driver? Hard core

Putting a cage in a daily driver is a bad idea. Prepare to be a big heat score.

Well I am sure there is still some more I could do for it to be considered 100% gutted, but I have basically removed everything from the front seats back. My plan was to gut the front but people were steering me away from that because of issues with wet feet and the exposed metal floor, I was thinking bed liner but I am also not sure I have the space in my garage to take all the stuff out and get in and do that. When I get more space I will probably take the time to remove and potentially upgrade the seats and do bed liner in the front so I won't have to worry about wet shoes and such. Plus I keep the mat on the passenger side, I took my out of the drivers side though.

Brian I don't know if you have heard or seen my car yet but it's already pretty obvious. I don't think the cops are observant enough to spot a 6 point cage either, it pretty much follows the lines that are already in the car, unless of course they pull up beside me.

I just got a whole bunch more parts and this thing is starting to come together can't wait will post shortly!

Got a package from English Racing today, big thanks to them and Cory over at the BrakeMan for a wicked light wieght, zero drag setup!

Those brakes are baller LOL

Yeah thanks Eric too bad I had to sell some kidneys to pay for them haha Need something to hold this thing on the line this year!

You really don't think you could hold the car back with properly setup stock breaks and a vac pump?

I do see the weight savings and zero drag as a good advantage though.

No stock brakes won't hold back a 1000hp car thats been proven even these brakes will require a vac pump to assist.

I hope I haven't offended you Ron, but stock brakes hold back fast auto cars just fine. You don't sit at the line with 1000hp, you know that.



Jesse and his brothers all run stock brake setups, and they seem to work just fine for them.

Not sure how he can be on stock brakes running a 8.8?

Been out of town for the last month and a half should have updates soon.

Been among the dead all summer but its time to get this car back up and running stay tuned!

Good to hear you are still alive, can't wait to see the new build!

I was actually hoping to see it at the shootout this year, but still look forward to seeing progress on that beautiful car!

Yeah worked 50 nights straight kind of took the wind out of my sails

But hopefully replenished the wallet?
Anyways, I look forward to seeing progress on your build again!

Sort of before I bought a new Viper

WOW, congrats! Please don't let the new toy keep you from finishing the old one!!

Unfortuantley thats exactly whats its dones but I'm back on track and gonna pound this thing out!

New Aluminum Rod motor With GSC S3's and Kiggly Race Springs!

Do want!!!!

New billet chute lever

Didn't realize cars get pushed around a shop fast enough to need a chute






I wanna see/hear this thing running already!

If I wasn't playing with this all summer it would be running

I don't know about you guys but I think thats a valid reason. I'd have done the same

This car only reminds me of

Oh, I know, I've seen the posts on Facebook! I may be a little jealous on that front. That being said, I'm itching to see what the yellow beast will be capable of!

I think I will be a very happy man when I can:

a) afford a Viper

b) call my brand new Viper my "slow" car

Actually my cheap slow car haha Dam DSM's lmfao

Machined some reducers to reduce 1 5/8ths Chrome Moly tubing down to one 1'' for the front rad support and rear supports. The front rad support is then being held in place by aero quality quick pins as will be the front trans mount! {thumbup}



Picture of the reducer Tig'd in place on the front frame support, the stock front frame rail is still being used to just past the front subframe



Front rad support mounted and held in with quick pins for quick removal

Starting on the custom rear subframe and GT diff!

New front Brake Man setup test fit

Is those the no drag ones?

Jesus Christ that is sexy

Yes light weight low profile zero drag

Thanks and the rears look just as good photo coming soon

They look awesome. I could be wrong but they are not street legal correct? or rather not recommended to be used as a everyday brake set up?
