ACTIVE BUILD PROJECT: Get in now, shape the outcome!
Comes with a NHRA 2026 chassis cert 7.50
Car Description
This shop project is being set up as a small tire car, originally designed for a 10.5W setup — so anything smaller will fit right in. It features a full steel body, steel doors, fiberglass nose, and functional roll-up windows with glass, offering a solid, vintage base for serious performance.
Our build vision includes a BBC, two stages of nitrous, a ATI Powerglide transmission, 9″ rear with 4:11 gears — all aimed at building a competitive, reliable drag car. That’s how we’d build it. The chassis has now been certified to NHRA 7.50 specs, making it track-ready for serious racers.

8-22-26 Project Update: The custom round-tube chassis is freshly finished in high-gloss black, and the steel body shell is rocking a deep, brilliant red. Here is where this active build stands:
- Chassis: Stamped with a fresh NHRA 7.50 Chassis Certification.
- Fabrication: Full TIG-welded round-tube chassis, rack-and-pinion front end, and custom aluminum tin work.
- Body Setup: Factory steel body and doors with functional roll-up glass windows paired with a fiberglass nose.
- Powertrain Potential: Configured to handle a Big Block Chevy (BBC) with two stages of nitrous, Powerglide transmission, and a 9″ rear end with 4:11 gears.
- Tire Clearance: Set up for a 10.5W tire — meaning any small tire configuration fits comfortably!
