Watched your video and it seems the rear suspension isn't planting the slicks.The E.T. is down a little for the MPH. It seems to be pulling all the way down, so your making some good power.

I have 4 fasteners. 1 in each corner w/spoiler and it works fine. Its an older fiberglas lid, circa. about '75. I'm not sure how the new ones would be, but this one seems OK. I've had some pics taken at the top end and there is no bowing or lifting.

Nice ride. Good looking tin work in the trunk. Don't see too many 4drs running in the 10s. That electric blue color should be awesome.

Sorry Michael, I couldn't tell from the pics. Thats also a good idea to keep the crank centerline as low as possible. Will look great when completed.
