You never cease to amaze Mark. You can't have many more spots left to take weight from without getting into the realm of body panels right?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Looking good as always! 2017 should be an exciting year!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Thanks for the feedback guys!

My tube bender is a Woodward fab unit, very close to the JD2.

I just finished it up last night. I also cleaned up the rearend. It has new bolts, vent, plugs, seals and a fresh paint job. I'll be installing it soon. It's crazy how much oem stuff is available from Mitsubishi for a 25 year old car!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Not many opportunities left, I'm not going to tin can it either by hacking up body panels. The car should be close to 2200lbs now! 2017 will be an exciting year!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Beautiful work!!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Yes! 3kgt rear end. This should be a great year for you Mark; always love seeing updates on this build.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

No crazy cf doors/front clip like Bush, Holland, Montgomery and the other big dogs?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Finished up the rearend installation. Looks awesome!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Looks awesome!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Yup, amazing!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Very nicely done!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Went to rock falls for opening day. New mph best for me. I only ran one pass and was happy with the car for the muscle car shootout in May. The launch was very soft, no boost built on the line.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Unreal! Nice work!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Yeah that is moving for sure. So mid 8s or what is your goal this season?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Good lord.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Yep, 8.50's are the goal. Any quicker and I need more chassis work to run at bir. I'd be very happy to run that fast. The car has a lot of mph, a 1.40 60 foot and it's there.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Yeah, you know just a 1.4 60' and 170+ trap, easy peezy.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
 

Can't wait to see this run this year Mark, when you run faster than 8.5 are you going to do the cage and go even crazier or are you going to stick with being able to run that fast?
