Can't put this one on the fans....
Yeah, I don't ever remember going to a race as fan and having a sawzall on the list of items to lug around all day at the track.
Why would someone from a Pro Stock team be suspected? What does a Pro Stock team want with a greenhouse and tree from a Funny Car?

Pardon me from being ignorant, but what is a "tree?"

The metalworks inside a F/C body used to mount it on the chassis correctly.. All custom made, usually out of titanium, that adjusts the way the body rides on the car- somewhat important to make the external aerodynamics work correctly (sets body rake and height)

Attach a pic, since I can't... (Don't know how) It's the tubing that you see mounted to the body that looks like a bunch of body support tubing, which is what it is... There is alot in the back where it mounts the body to the chassis, and holds up the rear deck area with those huge spoilers creating so much downforce... It is quite an art...
But it looks like a bunch of branch's, so It's called a tree...

I know what a tree is boob-job...
Now your going to have to explain that the body pole is note the tree trunk...
Can't you make anything simple??
Sorry.. I can't take off-chassis pictures of the spare body (!!!)

The "tree" is actually the triangular shaped part attatched to the back of the chassis behind the cockpit. What we call all of the underlying body support tubes are "spaghetti". bObPardon me from being ignorant, but what is a "tree?"

Re-read MY post, brush-boy..
.. The pictures were all I had available- I did mention that I didn't have any of the rear (what Bob so graciously defined to us as the point of the subject), but neither of us were too far off... Don't you have a few coats to be paying attention to, Senior No-Drip?
And H is a non-entity.. Moscow is moving into the lead...

I have 50 cans with a little left in each... I know I can make a huge mess with those, and set myself back another 2 weeks... Yep, that's what I'm gonna do... C-YA

Appearantly, ALCOHOL is no longer available in this house...
Sis hid every bottle and I don't have time to go looking through all those clothes in THAT closet... The Porsche keys are gone and I'm out of stuff to sand... I hear ya loud and clearcoat about the spitters...
Your voice has been echoing in my head all morning...

Those are called sunflowers T, and I eat a bag of them there seeds a day...
Paint buzz, trumps plant buzz, tops beer buzz... Look for it on ESPN2 this fall... PPB following the RPS championships... I'm WAY past them days, Top Fuel Funny Car's the drug for me... Smacking your finger with a body hammer gives you a hell of a buzz also...

I'm sure Omaha has a fine correctional facility, were you will not be finding me anytime soon...
Now Lincoln, NE. with that huge walled up turn of the century looking "thing" in the middle of a residential neighborhood, has had me very intrigued since I saw that... I REALLY want to know more about the who's, what, when, and why's of that place... TrippyHow many leaves on an ear of corn??
Gotta go- Found some untapped sanding area...
Paint by 3PM and back at it...
