So few builds like this. This is how I want to build my next street car project, I hope this one stays street legal.
Bravo.

This is one of the cooler builds I've seen in a while. Glad to see more young folks our age with fab skills. How long have you been welding? I assume for a while by the looks of the garage? Help your dad/family?
Definitely subscribed. |

thanks yo, iv been welding since I was 13 and tig welding for the last few years. My dad built this shop, which is our home shop, in 1994. Iv been paying my dues for a long time now to be able to use everything in it. We have an amazing relationship but he builds his stuff and I build mine. I have learned so much from him by just watching. Its cool because even though Im young we feed off each other and I can give him suggestions and he actually uses them, and he definitely points me in the right direction when I get stumped. I cant believe that after all this time he has never put down a weld on my car haha. |

I'm guessing this is a drag car. Looks killer.
Any guess on what type of ET to expect? Looks like you are keeping IRS, that right?

I was only able to view a couple of pictures (stupid government computer here in Iraq). I definitely appreciate your efforts and think your build is dead on. Keep up the good work.

the car is a straight line car, but will mainly see street use. It will have carpet, nice paint and bodywork. im all about having function with form, and havent encountered an area where I had to give of form to get function yet. im staying irs for now, we will see how well i can set it up to hook. im doing a different style front suspension so im cutting the shock towers off and going a different route, ill post pics of that soon. the goal for the car is to get to the chassis cert. (8.50's) when it will get to that im not sure, but I do have plans of purchasing a 7675 precision at some point for this motor. |

I have seen plenty of 1.5 60' on IRS S13's but those cars were in the 11's.
With the times you're planning for you might be paving the way for IRS drag 240's I cant wait to see it done, I love crazy street cars.
