    Question time, re front end. Do you think solid panels behind the openings ( the surrounds will be made to look chrome-ish)? chop a grille to fit in the grill surround? and bumpers or not?

    i can only tell you what i know. if some one out there has an uncle bob and he owns something different, great. the blown pro mods that I AM aware of, do not self start. the rules don't require it and it's a ton of weight to penalize yourself with. they still carry a battery (although not a physically large one) to power all of the electronic gizmos and doo-flickers. i was taught a pic is worth a thousand words. here's my thousand words.

    Dave is correct. there is a small power source so you can run the fuel pump and ect. also so you can check your valves,springs to adust when your jogging the motor between rounds with out physically turning over the motor completly. Cant afford to waste that fuel.(ha ha).

    will that help?

    EDIT: the car pictured is a ADRL PX car. i did some quick research and NHRA pro mods are required to be self starting. although they allow the use of remote battery packs for starting only.

    i was getting a little burned out on the top alcohol dragster so, i decided to take a break and do a door car. this will be an outlaw 10.5 car. not an upper rung car. something a little more in the lower tiers. based on an '82 camaro the car will be an all tube chassis, frt. struts and p/m style four link w/ a wishbone, M/W 11" rear, bruno/ lenco trans., 737" bbc w/ 2 stages of nitrous. american racing wheels frt. and rr. w/ hoosier 24.0/5.0-15 front tires and 33.5/10.5-16 outlaw rear tires. here's where it's gotten to so far.

    please keep in mind that other than the plastic kit body and the center section of the M/W rear(TDR) this is entirely scratch built.

    hope you enjoy.

    This is weird because I actually do race cars w/ my father & have seen up close A real Promod, let alone for the past 15 yrs. Been around the race track for about 30 to 40 years. No ones being serious, just giving input & opinions. Keep building strong & hard. You are good.

    Very nice, I like it. I'm with the others, give us more details. I'm artularly interested in how you bent styrene tube and molded the sheet.

    Sorry to everyone for not giving updates. Been working long hours @ job. I bent the styrene rods w/a bic lighter. Just a little heat before it melts. For the tin work I didnt mold anything. The styrene was cut & glued w/ ca glue w/ insta-set the wheel wells were bent by rolling over my fingers then glued in place. I used templates from paper 1rst then cut out styrene for finished piece. Just gotta set & look a few times before it fits or looks good. Thanx D.J.
