BTW, I think if you plan on getting into the 6's you'd better be spraying... that's just my opinion
His car is full weight minus air and heat. It has a 10pt cage full interior it is not light by no means. I am getting the tubes welded and braces put from the tubes to the center section by the yoke. The more people that i talk to say that it shouldnt be an issue. The truck already has a zex kit on it and will be used after everything is lined out.
