Alright, this car is completely out of my territory, but I have to ask something. I obviously know this car isn't intended for the streets but is it possible to insure a car like this?
You have some serious money put tied up with this vehicle, you can't just call up Geico and get an insurance policy I'm guessing.
How do cars like this get insured and please tell me there is insurance or I'd be scared sh$tless to drive it.

Here is a recent car from the shop on it's debut run at PBIR. This car is capable of running in the 6's, chassis is a rick jones piece and all other fab work is by Rosado Racing and JC Racecars.

Hey Ruf, still perusing eh?

Yep still out here chasing the last benchmark you set . . . fastest N/A 2nd gen. 
As soon as I get my axles and motor mounts replaced, and the ram-air and exhaust fixed I'll be heading out the track.
But this current build of yours . . . well it's way out of my league . . but wish I could have been there in person to see it unfold as this is one of the coolest builds I've seen in my 34+yrs of drag racing. I've even been thinking of ways to make it down that way when you take it to the track . . . not likely, but would be
Keep it up.

Glad to see I'm not the only old fart still ate up with the mod bug. We've seen a lot of change over the years, cheap gas, 110 octane you could buy at the pump when leaded gas was the norm, 440 six packs, hemi's, then the introduction of mass produced fuel injection cars and the elimination of distributors to name a few. Let us know how your car works at the track, and launch that car gingerly, they don't like or work well when you try to come out hard unless you've made some serious changes to the front end.

Long time no post. It's been a busy past several months, I moved to NorCal, which has taken much of my time. The car was doing fine until a slight bearing problem. The thrust bearing took a dump and waxed the no. 3 main bearing. luck it didn't spin, just gave the journal a good working over. It's been apart for about a month now and I should start putting it back together in a couple weeks or sooner. all machine work is done, just waiting on a part or two. I don't get on much anymore, so many replies will go unanswered. take care and Happy New Year to everyone.
What no 03 tails...That car is a piece.
only kidding ,That cl is one of the best built.Possibly thee best.
Does he travel racing or just race local ?
I would like to eyeball some of his parts.like the adjustable cam gears,and ask about the parts in the heads.
