I have been working on this for the past 4 years to go from a 12 sec. street car to a  ?? race car. I cant wait to fill in the question marks with a time and MPH. No Perk the hood aint gonna be painted by March 1. But the rest is at least ready for testing.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWgaQ75F_Fc |

Nice, was there sound or is my work machine just screwed up?
Either way it looks nice and rolling under it's own power is a good thing...

There is sound for the whole thing and a bit of dialog in the beginning. Thanks Perk, I'm glad they caught me.  I really had to GO bad! |

Thanks guys! I know that now the learning begins! I haven't driven "stupid fast" in a long time so I'll probably be re-learnin all that too. Don't want to wind up stupid dead. The goodyear's I actually bought from Brian Plasterer back when it was drag radial or nothin. The car is, unfortunately, not DR legal (BMF Heads). So it will probably be AMI to learn and start and hopefully more. Got my new tow vehicle ready (new to me) and I'll be back from a business trip 2 days before the track opens. Still need to paint the hood......... Coaching my sons team will slow things down at first but I will make all efforts I can to drive it like I stole it. Like I said "Can't Wait"!!!!!!! |

Car looks and sounds great. Good luck this season. That 69' would look real good with the other D/R cars. They need a Yellow 69' Chevelle. |
