Dean, put a couple of long flathead 5/16 screws through each side of the box before you pour the lead, it will retain it.
Tall... you need to read from the front before commenting.... the box fills the space between the wheels, essentially filling that space and streamlining the wheels and the ballast...
What?? read from the front before commenting? What a novel idea SSS. LOL  :cheers:

Almost ready. The new ballast pan mostly fits under the belly pan. This is a Mike Verdugo (Catalyst Composites) body with an OEM tail section. The old body went 213 last year, anyone want to guess what the new body might be worth in MPH? Fingers crossed.

Dean, that looks very nice... aero has changed dramatically, it looks right, so it should go fast...  :cheers:
