My brother is looking to buy a local ET Bracket car and convert it to a Stock Eliminator car. Have most of the pieces to put it together. It has a factory floor but has the leaf springs moved into the frame, but the factory frame rails are still there with the factory spring mounting holes. So moving the springs back to the factory location is not a problem. But the car has aluminum wheel tubs. Is it possible to install steel wheel tubs in place of the aluminum and be legal for Stock,provided the steel is at least the same thickness as the factory?

Wheel tubs (steel or alum) are not allowed in stock.
You will need to replace the wheel tubs with stock pieces cut out of a donor car. Or run the car as a Superstocker instead and keep the wheel tubs.

I have a '97 Mustang that I was considering as a stocker project car. Can anyone give me a list of parts (chassis and engine/driveline) that are allowed to be changed/removed and/or altered? I know this may be a broad question so a reference point would also be appreciated! Is the NHRA rule book the only source for the information? Would there be a prefered combination in anyones view?
Thanks for any input! Rich |

In a nutshell, the suspension components must be stock or bolt-on replacement - no tubular components up front. Aftermarket adjustable struts/shocks in the stock locations are OK. The rule book should be your reference guide for engine building but working with a known engine shop familiar with Stock Eliminator rules "interpretation" is recommended. Have fun!!

Wondering about NHRA Stock rules for framerails, can they protrude through the floor boards? They do right now stick up approximately one inch through the floor.
Also if there is a roll bar installed already do I still need a back seat? Can the seat be cut to accomodate the roll bar? Can the battery be relocated to the trunk? About the trunk, it is pinned with hood pins right now, do I need to install the stock trunk hinges? I think a fuel cell in the trunk is legal now, any suggestions or recommendations? |
