In 2011, a 5.48-second ⅛-mile pass was a fairly fast time for your average street/strip car. Dave realized people who relied on him didn’t want to see him get mangled up in a poorly-built race car, and he decided that he needed to address the widow-maker cage in the car before going back to the track. What Dave didn’t know was that the decision to redo the cage would turn into an eight-year-long complete rebuild project.





Torque hits the rear tires through a carbon fiber PST driveshaft into a Racecraft Fab 9” differential with a Strange center section (4.29 gears) out to Strange Ultra-light 40 spline axles. To slow Orange Juice down there are Strange brakes and rotors and if that isn’t enough to get it done there is a White parachute hanging off the back.


With the help of Charles Bourassa, Dave replaced the 10-point cage and built a removable front clip using the factory fenders and front bumper. The 10-point cage was converted to a 25.3 certification. After the cage was upgraded, the car sat in the back of the Nitrous Outlet shop for about a year waiting for Dave to find the desire to finish it. He was also waiting for Brian at Madman & Co. to have an opening so that Madman could finish the rest of the chassis fabrication.







The rear wing was built and installed by Midwest Chassis which applies downforce to the Weld Magnum wheels with MacFab beadlocks wrapped in Mickey Thompson radials.
