Wrong perfect drag truck as the weight is right where it belongs "over the rear axle".

All kidding aside you have taken your truck a long ways since your fist pic and double thanks for the photo updates.I wish i had taken pic's when i built my pro streeter as it could help others to build or give ideas for there project.

the cowl holes you plugged are for ventilation and air intake for the heater and airbox. i would think twice about closing them up.

just like the vents on the b pillar are for exit of the cabin ventilation..

yes i had 1/4"x2" flat plate ran under the tank to support it. but i am not using that fuel cell anymore. im going to be getting one made, a little bigger. and it will be built to accept a factory style drop in fuel pump, and be baffled so when it gets low on gas, it was slosh away and die on me.
