WOW!!!!! insane. So much custom work, how long has the build been going for? The front wheels wont be on the ground much haha. What time you chasing down the strip?


Build has been going for about a year and a half now I am hoping the I can keep the front wheels on the ground, hopefully chasing a low 10 at first and then with a bit of development into the 9's

great stuff.. love it! Also liking all the fab work, can never get sick of looking and reading about that stuff.

Traction shouldnt be too bad with those tyres after a bit of rear end setup.. what power does/will the engine make? Something different i like it


Engine is only mild at the moment wanting to develop all the bugs out of the chassis and make sure it runs straight before I go chasing more horsepower, the car is getting the body work done at the moment and then its off to the dyno to get tuned I'll keep you posted

Yep, truly an awesome looking beast. Should hammer down the quarter! Be a quick run down to the fish and chip shop too.....

How long till the trumpets are gone and a couple of huffers come to town??


The more I think about how light it is and how much power it has only in a mild form I am still having trouble convincing myself to strap myself in it but as with any fast car I have owned at first its a buzz and scary but after a while you start chasing more so I wouldn't rule out any forced induction in the future

This is by no means a show car as I have done all the chassis work myself and this is my first attempt at building a fully dedicated drag car from the chassis up so some aspects are not as neat as I would have hoped but for my first attempt I am really proud of it I found that the key is to talk to as many people as you can and really listen to what they have to say because at the end of the day they have a lot more experience than you and have already made mistakes that you can learn from
