  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Barry Lutz Chevelle is what all drag radial cars should aspire to be like. That car is bad to the bone.

    Me too! I have every pic of his build on my phone. I refer to his car all the time. Very tastefully built without going overboard.

    Glasstek too.

    They have a pretty good handle on scoop placement for a Skylark bodied car.

    Upper plenum all welded up. BIG THANKS to Steve Reynolds for knocking it out and as always doing an awesome job.

    Still have to fit plenum to the runners and have it sewed up along with some brackets , fuel rails and a water manifold.
