If somebody has there instructions for there drive shaft loop could they either email me a copy or post a pic. I bought a lakewood loop with no instructions but it doesn't seem to fit. Any help appreciated. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

Sawson once said, "measure 2x drill 1x"
just loosely assemble it and put it up in place, it takes quite a bit of messing around to get it all up in place.snug up the bolts on the hoop and then mark and drill the holes in the floorpan. it is easiest if you at least remove the seats.
good luck!

You place it a few inches back from where the drive shaft meets the tranny. I believe NHRA states 6" max, but you'll find that ~3" fits the floor pan countour best. Here are some so-so pictures:
Oh yeah, listen to that Sawson guy about measuring twice and drilling once. It sounds like he got it backwards his first time ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
