Wow, now that is nice. Great shots Frank. Are you actually allowed to drive on the streets there with the wheelie bar?

nice car, I would get rid of the sidepipes though and either dump them before the axle or run out the back.

Great shots, Frank....

For me, the cowl hood is a bit much.... other than that, very cool!

nice, so whats it run in the 1/4 mile?

judging by the wheelie bar and the slicks.....im gonna say 9s or possibly 8s. Depends on whats done internally etc

I'm going to say around 11.00 or a high ten

faster

Yes. A lot of cars have them.

No idea yet. He's taking his time breaking it in.

Thanks for the comments.

Well done Frank as always, do you have a close up the shifter by chance?

Thanks,

Lynn

Nice, I'm not really into the muscle cars but, a friend had a SS396(built) 4 speed when we were in school. He let me drive it a couple times and that I will never forget. It had so much power it was scary could only imagine what this one would be like.

I'd imagine it's faster than that lol...


Nice pro-street car. At least it looks like it falls within that bracket.

Sorry, no.

It's all relative. The first time I stepped on my 'Cuda, I was amazed. (Maybe it was the trees going by on Woodward.) Later it was just FUN!

I don't know what it weighs, but with those tires, I'd give it high 11s. But that's what made racing "back when"?

10.8 @ 135

with the wheelie bar he will be in the deep 10s or 9s.
