    What a bitchin' build. I'd say try to QC flip for at least one highway run before writing it off. That hemi should be able to pull it along at just off idle quite well!

    The car has been on the road for about a month. It’s got 725 on the odometer and I just got back from the RPM Nationals Barona. I made it to the final two cars in overhead street and lost at the light. Win or not I had the time of my life and can’t wait for the next one! This car is incredible and so much fun to drive. There’s something about getting sideways in 3rd gear that gets your blood going! My best time on the 1/8th mile was an 8.06. I feel like that’s pretty respectable for a car that was built to drive instead of being a straight up race car. I did trailer it to Barona since I was racing. There’s nothing fun about having a malfunction 800 miles from home and trying to figure out how to get it home. Besides, I needed a place to stay while I was there and my van is a camper.

    Congrats! Looks like you are having a blast, which is the point.
    Converts to a 12.66 quarter mile. That's a good ET.

    That’s about what I was thinking. Mid 12s or so. The conditions weren’t what I’d consider perfect but I’ll take it. The car is so much fun to drive.

    That seaside shot could be your new post picture.
    Idaho might confuse people, though.
