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.

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.

Its been built. Last outing will be super chevy again. Then its coming apart and everything is going into a 66 convertible.

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!!
