Parachute handles are being fabricated; land speed chutes are different than drag chutes in that first chute pulled has the longest tether and smallest diameter chute. It’s designed to straighten out the car and then the 2nd chute is pulled, it’s the deceleration chute, slightly shorter tether and bigger diameter chute is designed to slow the car. Once both are out, I can stand on the brakes and get it slowed down and eventually stopped.

Here are a few pictures of the hot and cold pipes insulated and the valve cover fittings.
