What path to choose ?

dreracecar:
Most funny car altered chassis are built on 24" centers (center of tube across to the other tube in the cage area) dragsters are built at 21". Years ago dragsters were built on 19" centers.

 Many cars are built large now a days and have flame retardent liners to fit the drivers. Foam kits run between $350 to $700 and they really make the car more comfortable because of complete support, and that really makes a difference in a crash. The worst thing is to have a cage that is too tight, If you have to have someone snap your helmeted head into the cage---thats too tight.

 The cert means that up to the date it was stickerd, tubing size and placement is correct. There has not been too many changes in specs for a lot of years now and any changes have been minor enough so they can just be called UPDATES and not obsolete the chassis. It is still to your bennifit to find somthing that has a current cert or something just out of cert because the certs are only good for 3 years.

looked over all altered on racingjunk. Waiting for info on few, but other that 2 there is nothing for me right now :( they are either to expensive, to small for 240 lbs, no 4 link, not certed or just very old.  Any other places I can look for used altered ? Not that I'm in any hurry tho.

dreracecar:
Dont need a 4-link unless the driver is offset, center steer altereds work just fine solid

might have a couple this way, I will check

pm me your e-mail address,   putting pics on this site is a pain
