[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 16866989, member: 141815"] I don't know what you'd call it now. None of the modification to lose weight have been performed. I believe I stated earlier that my wife's health is poor, she doesn't want me to go to the Texas Mile for fear of an injury on my part would cause us difficulties in caring for each other. When I got the car back together this last time I found things done incorrectly by the last shop that worked on it, particularly with how things were routed and the workmanship of the wiring of electrical modifications to the car that I felt were a major safety concern. To fix these things the car needed to be torn down, also the routing of the hoses for the heat exchanger system was poorly thought out and executed. I'd met Ryan and Tammy Hargett of HAP during Hot Rod Drag Week at Virginia Motorsports Park a few years ago. I was intrigued by the cage in the car and the fact that all of the creature comforts like A/C and heating system were still installed and functional in the car with the 25.3 cage and its cross bar in the dashboard.
