hell yea man ;D alot of fun ain't it.. yea I sholud have fixed mine and ran it again.. but I was done having bad luck with that car and when you have 6 cars sitting around waiting to get built.. and how built the bird was I could only run it once a year.. yea I saw some pictures of the ones you been building and they look good.. the sad thing is I built that mark IV for my buddy and he's not going to run it for another year or 2.. I'd love to see how my playing around at the core support works out

well its up to your rules.. and how you do everything.. I'll give you alitttle clue.. it still has the I-beam shock but its no longer on the outside of the frame and you have to run a smaller radiator.. but I think if we put kickers or dp on that car its still going to do the samething they got to give somewhere

my next one with a cradle and a DP will be shortened and have LONG chrysler bumper shocks all the way extended.... NOT IN THE FRAME then might just add a POINTY ;D

you could send me your number if you get pictures derbydriver666.. I got a nice picture to show you of the mark IV frame
I think if you build it like how we know and you run a dp or kicker.. she should take a pointy on problem plus you wouldn't have to get the front as high with a pointy.. but its up to where you run.. some derbys around here cars sit is 27-30'' and other derbys there 22-24"

What were you running against? I take it you lost a bumper and you didn't cut that off before you posted pictures?
