We're hoping the car is fast enough to need this.

Another inch...
YES! YES! YES The chute is IN! Ready for reentry.
The good ole game console button... Nice.
I find it nearly impossible to see scrap metal and not see Challenge car parts. Just sayin' ....
Here we see discarded aluminum that is now 1.8oz fender bracing...
Scraps to under side panel... 2#-6oz...
Inching forward...
Inching along, and looking great. When and where do you think the first drag passes for this car will take place? I'd love to come out and watch it run!

3 weeks. First session will likely be unannounced. They are very intense sessions.
The boys are trying a new format....

NHRA wants a nice sealed firewall between the engine and the driver (I think). What did you use to pass that thick wiring harness through the firewall and keep it sealed ?

Modified the shifter cable(s) grommet and passed the harness thru that hole
Tail lights and fuel pumps work. Another inch
I reckon y'all have a plan... but this stood out to me due to the edit of talking about the 'rear flat floor exit'
hard to say if that's going to be more or less of an issue after closing off the bottom. There's a good chance the flow will 'hop' the opening, and there's probably a number of different ways to encourage the 'hop'.
Like I said, I expect y'all are thinking about it. But, that stuck out at me because of the edit.
Nice job on raising the bar, and interesting to see the accumulator mod. Keep up the good work.

Racecar dash
We've come a long way since the medicine bottle.
The race dash is very clever. I like that it integrates with parts of the original dashboard. It looks like something a factory race team would do.
I take it the shift light housing is 3D printed?
In reply to ShawneeCreek (Forum Supporter) :
Yep. 3d printed. On of the first years we came, my dad used a medicine bottle as a shift light housing. The 3d printed shift light is a little nicer. Lol
You can see it better here.
In reply to TheV8Kid :
What are yall using to trigger the shift light?
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael (Forum Supporter) :
The factory ECU has a built in shift light function.
