Default FROG new look - All motor Street Stock/Comp4 car - update

Hey guys, we were finally able to get some body work done on the FROG, we got the car back last Wednesday night right before this past weekend's NHRA event, LOL the bumper didn't finish drying so we had to use the old bumper.
We weren't able to dial in perfectly for this past event but will certainly try harder for ATCO in two weeks, its still B-series trying to hold its own against the K-series cars. Right now we're about 3-4mph behind Loan in the CM Street Stock civic, hoping to give her some better competition starting at ATCO.

Here are some pics from preparation for spraying over to how it currently looks.
I have been getting a lot of inquiries of many thinking I have a new car, its the old one with a new look, we chose Army green LOL

Greg

This is how it looked last as you guys will remember:



new look that you'll see at upcoming events:




Pics from early last week as the car was being painted

yup 2.1L stroker motor tuned down a little until we get some traction.
I really miss the old BFG Comp t/a tires i've had for 8yrs, new tires take forever to breakin.

yeah Art, didn't realize pics were so big, gotta edit them.

anywhere between 1.88 and 1.91 with the comp ta radials, they are much softer and stickier.

Greg, the car looks great! Thanks again for the parts, I ended up staying on the East Coast so we will have to catch up at Atco so that I can get them back to you.
