The car is looking really good. I thought I read somewhere that you were 'only' doing an 8.50 cert?... might want to rethink that. MIGHT speaking from experience. It's a choice to run faster, one that I never thought I'd make. Albeit you are probably going to run at high elevation.

The reason im sticking with an 8.50 cert is authenticity of the chassis. Besides I have a front engine dragster project 182" wheel base car with the SBC out of my c10 (900hp flywheel with a F1A94 the trucks getting a BBC 498 with a cross ram) that car I will be running a 6/71 on with injection and 20-30% nitro that will run lower et's then the Demon. I know the Demon will be capable of faster ET's but I will try not to kill the motor on every pass and run in the 8.60-8.90 range primarily. Plus I plan to travel quite a bit so altitude changes will just be a part of it.
 
last night started on the pan spot weld holes and figured out removing these gravel supports in favor of tubing (similar to this car)

So right now im torn as I plan to race the car heavily while trying to maintain its vintage ascetic I im debating compiling the parts to make a vintage dry sump system for the car. The first systems showed up around Nov to Dec of 71 from what I can tell (landys car) but by march to may of 72 became more widely ran within the ranks. Currently I have a full vintage Sox and Martin oiling system to run with a magnesium oil pump. But given what im trying to do im torn on weather to get away from wet and go dry a couple of friends have offered up their magnesium nascar dry sump stuff to run im just torn. Plus a buddy just hooked me up with this old tank.

Nice to have friends with that old cool **** laying around.
 
So I had the last 5 days off with the holidays which allowed for me to get a ton done including the floors, tubular front rocker supports, drilled the underside of the drip rail and inner roof supports also. Then primed the seams and spots for sealer and once dried got that applied now just letting it cure.... gonna add a couple bars to the cage before the chassis welder comes to make a house call an knock out the main hoop forward bars. Then on to the trunk floor!
