Looking for 9" advice

Thanks everybody. I'm working hard to get it together so I make some passes this weekend. I sat in it with it running, and couldn't help but to do a little burnout. If I am successful I will put some videos on youtube.

:woohoo: I just drove it!! The steering wheel is off about an 1/8th of a turn, not too bad considering I just slapped the 4 link bars in there without measuring anything... It's really really close to being able to run it down the strip!:snoop:
 
The exhaust and window are in.

It'll have a tonneau cover, and maybe some tin work eventually, just don't have time right now. I used the factory mounts in the front and back, and braced the fenders up a bit.
 
My least favorite job is done.

A huge thanks to my friend Brad Ponci for the countless hours, parts, and garage space. I wouldn't be close to being ready without him.

small update...Been to the track twice. I've been running consistant low 11's, with low 1.6x 60' times. I finally busted a 10.99 at the Sacramento Truck drags. I had the truck tuned to run nitrous, but the dang controller didn't work, so I ran fuel only with low timing. Here is a few videos.

Thanks. I wish I could say it was all me, but I have had a ton of help from some really tallented people who helped me set up the chassis.

New cam, springs, retainers, and push rods, from Hamilton Cams. Adjustable pump gear from Jesse, and a Scheid front cover with a cam gear support. I'm going to give the Jegs water pump a shot.

I'm trying to get things ready for this season. Looks like it'll be another year without paint. There is still a ton of things I would like to get done, but you know how time flies.
