Obviously dedicated to accuracy.  What Super Tricks and front tires are you planning to use?  1/16” styrene rod for the six point bar?  Putting one in my Camaro stocker today.  I make the main bar way too tall, then install the interior tub temporarily, and it finds its correct height as the holes in the floor board allow the bar to slide down.  Keep up the good work.

Man Scott, that’s nice! I have been planning on doing that same car for years.I have everything I need to build it.For wheels,I am going to use Futturattractions’ excellent Crager Super Trick resin wheels. I ordered quite a few sets from him a couple years back for some future drag projects.
