    I dont really care for how their 55' ultimately came out (nice parts and everything but it's not how i wouldve put them together) but its pretty cool seeing it race the 700hp challenger.

    Pretty neat car but yeah, it's kind of a bummer to get that close and not complete the car with more traditional stuff.

    I didnt even realize it had one of those...it just seems slapped together...with really awesome parts!
    And that plexiglass thing around the injector stacks?! I dont get it.

  7. If you look up Roadkill on You Tube, you can watch the build over three or four episodes. I enjoyed it.

    I kinda like the plexi glass idea on the 55 hood although I may have wanted to tweak it a little.
    The jeep truck would have still been awesome with big wheels and tires but may have been too practical to have gotten noticed I guess.

    Finn's 55 is a "modern gasser"...not a traditional car.

    he's having a blast with it! when i saw him on Drag Week, he said he's been driving it to work, etc.

  12. Yeah the 1st and last cars in the race were the only ones I cared about. That truck is a hoot!
