I don't plan to "play" with it when it is done, but the spare can be put in and taken out through the opening now.  Once the mounting/hold-down hardware and other items are added I think it will be a permanent installation.

Then what is the deal with the working jack!!!! Come on , now! 

 

I'm with Joe on this one. Does someone with some mechanical know-how want to explain the coil springs at the end of the traction bar? That doesn't seem to make sense to me.

Being a typical Mopar I am sure he had leaf springs holding up the car and those big ladder bars act more like slapper bars and the spring just damps the slapping!

I love the convert top cover behind the top painted the same tan as the top!

^{Thanks for sharing the pics, Scott. It was a great show and the quality ran deep. My entry was in Motorcycles which is usually pretty sleepy. NOT this year. There were at least 4 excellent builders with multiple entries this year. I considered myself lucky to place third. By the way. I didn't see a pic of my model in amongst your 570+ photos!!! What the hey!!!}  

^{See you in two years!}

^{And to all of you who say it is on their bucket list to go to GSL - You are fools! Put it on your schedule, not your bucket list. That is like saying maybe I will have a good time before I die - if I get around to it!}

I bet all those ship in a bottle builders wished that their bottles had a removable bottom to their bottles! Yes I to wish they would reissue these, would get a case of each one........well maybe just one of each!

That dragster is in 1/43rd scale and closely resembles Tony Nancy's car! It  has a pretty nice blown hemi and supertrick wheels!
