C5 Corvette. Drag week

[drummerdad]

Here is what Im working on right now. Ive posted before that Im obsessed with the fastest street car shootout, and the drag week cars. This is my take on it. Its still in work, and very rough right now. I know it isnt the caliber some of you can achieve, but I think it looks ok. 

The car will have a large cubic inch engine (probably a BBC, I havent decided. Im using the hemi as a mock up), fuel injection with twin turbos (right in the front, getting air through the "corvette" license plate area), a fabricated water-to-air intercooler, and run on street tires. Itll have a small fuel cell in the nose for the alcohol, it will have a trailer hitch, and pull a trailer, though maybe not the one pictured. The car will sit as low as possible, just like it does now. Itll have an electrically adjustable suspension (not really, I mean simulated), that allows ride height adjustments, allowing it to drop at the track, and raise up for the street. Itll have a big gas tank in the back, and two seats also.

I still have a lot of work to do, especially on the turbos, but I only get about 2-3 hrs a week to work on it. I know I have a ton of bars to add to the cage, and its supposed to be a 25.3 chassis, so there will be gussets and other bars added to try and fit this sfi rating. I also have to add the front struts and brackets, and suspension linkage, the rear 4-link and the brackets for that. Then there are the headers, and exhaust, the fuel system, the dash (factory corvette), parachutes, wheelie bars, door hinges and panels, tubs......
