Re: Finally got word from PullinTV

Thanks Marv.. I've been 11.95 with my heap NA and 11.28 on a small 100 shot spraying after the 60' and short shifting 2nd to 3rd. I didn't get to use the second stage (another 200 hit on top of the first 100) as a fuse blew.

If you had to guess what the US Body glass stuff saved you, hood included, what do you think it would be?

I wish I had a way to measure my fiberglass front end and compare it to the steel it replaced. I'd also like to know how much less it weighs than steel.

When I decided to go "fiberglass" it was NOT for "weight saving" initially.

Being a BIG "GASSER" lover I have always wanted to have (someday) a car/truck with a one piece tilt frontend. Even after I had purchased "new Goodmark" front fenders I still wished I could have a "one piece". So when a "used one" came up for sale I was lucky enough to get it.

Our truck had been already lowered 3" in the front.... when I put the fiberglass one piece on it did not even look like it was lowered. The frontend came up that much due to the lighter one piece.

Now that we are going to do "some drag racing" the "weigh savings" is good.... but initially I was more after the "gasser-look" & "kool-factor" than weigh savings. Weigh saving that I could not even guess-ti-mate.
