well the chassis is loosely based on botches old rail but built up so it should be tagged to 7.50,but built to the same dimentions ie pretty small

ahh, right. I presume its not botches old rail though?
Who's building the chassis!
I know you're building a dragster ... but ive always thought a VW powered slingshot would be the coolest!!
