Humor, you call that humor? Right here you are making fun of my wife, embarrasing is what it is, not humor, she is such a frail innocent girl... give her a break Ghoster... I'm making fun of you now.. An individual who goes by the name of the Grey Ghost from S. Carloina, big time into racing also holds the world record for "Micro-Penisis" what ever that means, sounds strange. This is pretty funny, you think its funny, I do.... lol wth, we be needing to lighten up. Adios muchacho

OK "Zippy". ***** jokes.......I can only wonder if you have reached the age where you can drink legally. Speaking of tools, here you go.

That is definitely "Guten Stout", marvelous work being done, well thought out, always the perfectionist. Has to be scary knowing you are building a car that has to allow the owner a chance of walking away if in a very serious crash situation. Got to love it...

I was at a race shop one day in Indy, and saw a beautiful 33 ****** that must have had 100 feet of tubing. I said did you just finish this? He laughed and said no, it is here to be fixed. Would not pass tech. Hopefully your guy has built many cars and understands triangulation, etc. When we were building ours, we had a tech inspector come by a few times as we were getting it done and make sure everything we were doing met rule book standards. Better to find out now rather than later. From close up pics it is hard to get an idea of the over all build, but as we say in the south, that thing appears to be built like a brick outhouse.

Default Spec up

Sarmento racing did the cage and bars and sheet metal. Art Morrison did the chassis, the front and rear suspension. And my shop runs a pro mod car. I think I covered all my basis. And my builder uses a NHRA rule book as his bible down to the window net in what can and cannot be used to retain it.
All this info is somewhere in this thread.
Hope this helps.
