All kidding aside, you've put together some truly serious hardware. Nice work. I'd love to be there to see you launch.

I really like the way you added material to widen the DSE wheel tubs. Can you please post photos of the tubs and frame from the bottom of the car? I have been debating whether to minitub or backhalf my Nova, and I am interested in how you tied into the frame around the tubs.

Thanks,

Eric

by the time you install the DSE tubs the rear frame would have so little that my chassis guy was conserned that it could be to weak so he modified the area to alow the wider tub....I "might" be getting the car back this weekend so I can raise it up to see how he did it (have a lot of trust w/chassis guy and am sure he did a nice job). I could not bring my self to doing any more than a "mini tub" to the car....
