 After years of traction problems and a pass that headed towards the centerline, Leah decides to give up the notion that a street car can run 11.00's. Ladder bars are purchased, Travis Collins is requisitioned to back half the car. |
 A few tears are shed seeing the floor and back seat removed from the owner's "baby". No question, I wouldn't trust anyone else to perform this magic, designing a back half just for Big Red, than Travis Collins who is very talented with fabricating. |
 Dan says "It's a big hole and it's gonna get bigger". |
 The new ladder bar cross member is tacked in place. |
 Just another picture of that big hole |
 Travis says this is the most important part of the car, "if its straight, the car will go straight!" |
 Here are the rear frame rails. Eventually there will be straps located between here for the fuel cell mount. |
 Another angle of the rear frame rails. |
 And another.... |
 Here is day 3 with the addition of X brace. We decided to keep it low, to keep driver's vision clear. |
 Here are the rear frame rails with bars from the main hoop and braces. |
 That's it, that's pretty much the frame. All that is left is tying the back to the front sub-frame and mounting the body. Stay tuned for the next installment!! |
