Sorry to chime so late. Just got back from my jenny craig meeting after dropping danny of at his non driver "special mandatory meetings" . I thought russell may have some pics or imput. Sad to let go, but here are a few pics. Some pics have rear radials w, wide flat 4 brms. Narrower rears had caldwell slick/recaps. Doug raced it last at irwindale and won his class babying it off the line as he just refreshed the berg 5 speed w/zf 4.12. Motor is a 2442 pump gas fk 46, clyde heads, 9.3-1, I built with ken tabers help at shop in fallon. Motor made uncorrected 181 hp at 5 k elevation , = over 205 at sea level. Many thanks to all involved. bill
