As a matter of fact Zip, I saw two episodes of that show tonight on speed channel. It was called drag race high. Pretty cool. They built some very fast cars. My administration is not as supportative than those on TV, so we are left to work on the car after hours. It is going to be a full chassis car. We even have a mock up partially built just to see how everything is going to work. Too bad it was built with 1-1/2 .090 wall mild tubing, it came out pretty nice. We will use that for templates when we get the correct tubing. I am using a fresh 468 aluminum head BBC out of my retired race car. We have a 63 Corvette front and back shell to set over our chassis. It should end up being about 1500-2000 lbs lighter than my full framed S-10 Blazer was, so I'm pretty excited. If I go with the CM, the students will cut, fit, notch and bend all the tubes and I will MIG tack them in place, then over to the neighbor for final TIG. I don't know how to post pictures yet. Well thats the plan for now...Tomorrows another day! Keep those opinions coming it is really helping. Mark Adams
