Looks like Jamie got the front end problems fixed and it's not dragging the rear bumper off the line now. He ran a 9.63 at 138 yesterday. Don't know what position he's in.

A few months ago I would have loved to have that oil pan. I looked all around here but couldn't find one. I had to use a truck pan, which is not what I wanted. It's done now and no turning back.
