[ATTACH] This shot of My oldest son showing interest in my 64 Chevelle as a baby is a classic!
I look forward to seeing your Vette out there. My main focus is on the Chevelle in my avatar and I have been chipping away at getting it faster...
Wow great thread, I hope to one day modify this ‘60 for respectable 1/8 mile passes at the local track. Should be mostly work on the rear end and...
About 90% complete on this kit; not sure when I can make the last 10% happen [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Awesome, great to see her rolling again
For enclosed transport from a real company (not a broker) I’ve used both Passport Transport and Reliable carriers. Used both on several occasions...

[ATTACH] Hi, I almost rolled my 62 t bird roadster off a cliff with a similar problem before finally figuring it out. I’m experienced working on...

[ATTACH] Cool thread, not my car just a cool one I saw last time at the track
Not very fast by today’s standards but a plain Jane bench seat 4 speed car driven every day and good for an honest 12.7-13 sec pass. Faster combo...
That’s at Barona . Combo makes about 340hp at the crank and the car runs the 1/8 at 8.35 @ 83.9. It should be capable of around 8 flat with a...
