Andy only uses moly these days, it’s at least double the price of CDS these days. It’s a shame the seat belt bar had to go in so high but it’s correct for my height. You’re building another car? Didn’t see that coming…

:D I always say that but never really get round to it, I've just amassed a load of spare parts over the years. The 580 motor carb to pan will be spare sometime next season. Anything below 3000lb with that in would easily run 8's when sorted.

9.51 @ 142.4 1/4, 6.003 @ 114 1/8 with the old mule 580 wedge.

Wasn’t happy with the cage so Andy kindly altered it to how I originally envisaged it.

Thanks Pete, still need to “restore” the headrest and dye it blue to match the rest. I’ll cut my other headrest down to swap in for road use.
