It is finally looking like a race car. The roll cage door bars and body doors will stay off until most of the interior work is done.

Aluminum covers for the instrument panel, glove box, and speakers. The new framework is for a switch panel on the right side of the steering wheel which will also contain the fire bottle push pins. Frank, where should I put the radio?

Charlie, nobody uses radio anymore! Put an iPod in the dashboard and play some funky music from internet radios  .

Gotta lose the drag race thinking with this truck. I will probably end up with over 400 lbs of ballast before it's over. The "Brick" had only 200 lbs of tractor weights under the bed, but at those lower speeds more wasn't necessary.

Charlie, i know you said something along those lines before. Just doesn't compute in my (drag oriented) brain. The weight is to add traction or to correct handling issues from the trucks aerodynamic issues?

Hollow Head - I think the radios in these rigs are a "Citizen's Band" (CB for short) used to listen to race control (SCTA) at the dry lakes and salt flats. It would be very cool if a guy could tune in over the internet though! They (used to) maybe still -call out the time and speed at the mile markers........great to listen in on. You have to know your friend's car numbers because the line-up is helter skelter.
