Not how I would do it.  BUT...... that is one way to add lightness.

Is the 5 gal bucket the gas tank?

You still seem to have a little while before the driver's seat rust through to the ground.  

Zero suspension for the rear wheel.  There's got to be some real jarring that makes the whole thing rattle apart.

I'm just so amazed at how "clean" the front end is.

Yeah, that beer jug behind the seat is a good idea!

Somewhere there is a really sketchy trailer that used to be the back of this.

I reckon the back got destroyed by someone else staring at their phone, until the Camry impeded their further progress.

Doesn't NHRA require 4 wheels?

Dunno about nhra. But challenge rules stipulate 4 wheels.

Unfortunately.

In reply to Robbie (Forum Supporter) :

Any four-wheeled, production-based vehicle that was originally sold as a passenger vehicle is allowed.

Me being me, I would argue that the wording of that means originally sold as a four-wheeled production-based vehicle but that it doesn't require four wheels in the Challenge.

Edit - To be totally safe throw a space saver spare in the passenger foot well.

Having a early '80s factory 3 wheeled production car (a Freeway) I've tried to think of a way to run it, but haven't. 
I would tend to agree with you on the literal meaning of the rule, but am afraid of where that would be taken; and if our interpretation would fit into the "don't be a dick" rule surprise

My Freeway came with a 12 HP, and only has a 750 Hondamactic on it now, so heavy and slow, as well as dangerous!

There's being a dick and there's creative interpretation of the rules.  Your Freeway doesn't fit any interpretation of the rules that I can stretch.

So true on the freeway; it'd just be a cool toy. 
But the other rule was not in reference to it! I should have put it in its on paragraph. I don't type well, sometimes
