same (helps keep the price down)
Roo Man MotorSports body can be a short body,
Parachute Body, or full body (Hand formed Aluminum)
Cen_Pen (Singshot Dragsters) has both a

I have chosen Keith Burgan Of Roo Man
MotorSports to build my dream. As it is a custom chassis we will be
adding a torsion suspension to the front end. The idea is to build
it to look as Nostalgic looking as possible. It will be build as a
Junior fuel dragster. This means it only lacks two bars in the
cockpit area to be a Top Fuel Dragster. Leaving those bars out makes
it easier to remove the rear axle for maintenance. I will be getting
a Full Parachute Body. The chassis will be complete except for the
plumbing and wiring and the engine install. That will be left up to
the Car Nuts. The chassis is due to go into the jig in December with
a 60 to 90 day build. I will be making trips out to Indiana during
the build to photograph the progress.
There are many reasons why I made this choice.
SlingShot Dragsters certainly builds a capable chassis, and their
price is definitly cheaper then Roo Man. I felt the increase in
price was well worth it for the difference in quality, the custom
built chassis, and reputation that Keith has. I had two personal
friends that know Keith and they both recommended him highly.
I need the custom built chassis as I do not
fit into the one size that SlingShot builds
