Looks like you've done a bit of work since I last seen it.

 Re: drag ute build
looks to me as this would be better suited to circuit racing or something, over drag. For starters i dont think ive seen a drag car with 9" wide fronts, more often there about 4". Plus having such a wide track is no advantage when racing in a straight line, reducing the length of the diff and rotational parts and bringing the wheels (same size even) inwards and tubbing would have been more beneficial. Each to their own though i guess. I'll give u credit, it is different but. What engine are u planing on running?

 Re: drag ute build
bit of change of heart was going to be mainly drag but now going to see if it can go on the road.

 Re: drag ute build
being that wide you would think it would be more of a corners car

 Re: drag ute build
I've been wondering for awhile why no-one was using a long bed chassis as a base for a drag car. It makes so much more sense.

Who did the flares?

Those look like Skyline wheels. Maybe it has an all Skyline suspension???

 Re: drag ute build
no only the rear end is skyline front end is tube frame with blue bird struts which are going to tip.

the flares on the back are going to be changing and going to have wider wheels.
