Nice Tony

Very nice....... tired just looking at all the work....

 

Glad mine is done.....

Thanks Tony - you've succeeded in getting me to recall good times. Now that Jeepster that the guy at church offered me for free might just have to follow me home.

What model year is it? My first car was a '70 Chevelle SS with the cowl induction hood gig and 396/402 motor.

1972, i have all the ss parts + the cowl hood.

Great work Tony! Should be a fun little car! What trans are you going with?

purchased a tci turbo 350, was going to use a 400 but opted with the 350 to keep the 30 hp loss through the 400.

Very Nice Tony! Excellent Work!

Very Nice. Brings back memories. A friend of mine did a frame off and I helped wrench on it quite a bit. It was street legal. He drove it to the race that day after changing the rear tires. He significantly detuned it later as it wasn't very fun to drive around as it tended to over heat and stall at lights and such...even though it ran like a raped ape.

 

 

I blew my race motor 2 weeks before this particular race so I ran my 91 probe LX. Ran a 16:04 and broke out by .02. ..the above Chevelle was also bracket racing, dialed at 9.44 and he went three rounds before he broke out.

 

I miss having a place to work on cars. I'd love to do another project. My last one in 94 was this

 

I put a 350 in it and sold it before I ever took it for a ride. I saw the guy later and the car ran a 13.40 as built, first trip down the track. He blew the motor a few weeks later. lol.
