I run alot of Stoney Roberts demos you will be good with your tuck I also crease my quarters so they will bend where the trunk lid ends. I put a very deep dimple just behind the bumper shock or cut a 1-2 inch wide section out of the top of the frame only going down to make a V can cause the frame to rip off. I also like to use 4 strands of 9 wire in 6 locations on the trunk he allows that here. Also once it's chained or wired shut beat a v from the speaker deck to the end of the trunk. You should really use bolts to hold ur tank in it's a scary feeling when you look back and your tank is tipped over leaking and ur 2 spots from the feature. I have pics of the 2 bubbles I built for franks shows this year and have a 03 I'm building to run this year. Tom

I don't know how hard it is to find older parts where you run but getting a bumper off a 87 and older ford lincoln or mercury will help you out on the front end, I also run gm motors but thats just because I have all the parts. TOM

I wouldn't say you have to switch to carb or chevy motors those efi 5.0s will run well for you. I've been told they have a temp sensor that will shut the car off it it gets to hot, I just unplug them seems to work. Another tip is to make a tin cover for your power steering pump resivor have seen the caps cone off and cause alot of fires. Tom

nice man dont you have to change the distrib to. im gonna reduce the most wiring as possible when i do it should be next winters project i already have the intake and all. i just dont want to ruin the way it is running now cause its really strong and dont want to take a chance pulling it all apart and not aving time to put it back together
