Kevin, the beast looks great, it looks like a cross between a Willie Rells chassis and a Don Ness double frame car, EC1 did a nice job. What color are you coating it with, grey, black, red ? By the way, is that still considered a back half chassis ? LOL just giving you some S&$#t.
Belle Rose is getting close.

I have all but given up on Belle rose. You know what they say, when in Rome. This class forced me into something like this. If I want to be competitive.... I can't wait to let the trans brake button go for the first time :shock:

Interesting design. I would venture to say that you definetely have an automatic in this car? Looks like some tight manuevering would be necessary to fit a lenco with this design. Just an observation not a jab, for future reference. Things change so much that you want to try to take everything imaginable into consideration.

Also, do the rules say that you have to run a driveshaft enclosure when the stock floor is removed?

Thanks Marc. Very observant of you. I am Mr. low maintenance when it comes to racing, so a Lenco for me would never be in the picture But I get your point. Low budget and limited knowledge is my kind of racing. Besides my Hutch TH400 and Chance converter are so simple. The dravieshaft enclosure is a seperate piece and is not shown.

No prob. I have seen a lot of double frame rail cars as mine is one two. Chassis functionality as well as ease of maintainence is always good. You sure you won't ever be trying a lenco/bruno or lencodrive? Both are automatics persay, but the is minimal slippage in the lenco planatary drive which are the advantages over the conventional automatic. Something to think about as you move up in the HP ranges. Now is the time.

Monty, us "northerners" don't study to many things with veins :twisted: in it. But seriously where, or who makes that paint. I'm also "moving" some stuff in the truck of a Nova and wouls like to us it aswell on the new "wheel wells". Monty I was told you've been studing the "purple vein" monter. Is that true. :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted:
