No it is not a stocker. Just wanted to show how I fit a cell in the car. I have no Idea what the rules are for a stocker. Sorry if I misled anybody.

Not too sure about the rear frame rail It doesn't look stock to me. I thought you could use 2X 4 or anything for a rear frame rail in SS, but had to have the stock rear frame rails in Stock. Needs the stock crossmember to mount that tank and transverse spring. Bob Pagano had a bunch of pictures of different Vettes that were built legal. He needs to see them before spending big $$ on something that NHRA Tech will frown on. BUT, Are they frowning on anything now?
I think Bob's E-mail is: l88bob@aol.com,
Rear frame rail in my car is stock.

If you aren't going to build a "Legal Stocker" your good to go.. have at it.. Looks good for a wild streeter or bracket ride.

I don't think L79racer runs a stocker. Coil overs are a no-no and YES you do have to have the "buggie spring" but you can get creative with it. Not sure about what billy said about cross member.

Yes its not a stocker.Its just a street/strip car. I added a 1x1 square tube between the rear frame rails to support the fuel cell.

L79 dose not run stock, if the guy with the stocker want pictures I will send some when I get home on Wed. This combo dose not need a solid axel. bp

No I gave in and went with a glide the last two and a half seasons and put a couple hundred passes on it with out breaking anything. I will be going back to a stick in the 66 though. Its like child birth I guess, with time you forget the pain. LOL!!
