Remember, This IS a Street Car.
It has never been raced.................(on the track)
Day one.
Drove it home in 95, with the little 4cyl, 239,000 miles on the odometer, cracked winshield, and broken shocks.(bouncin' all over the road.)
The little 4 CYL Purred like a hampster with asthma.
Now some healthy lungs! Approx 420+HP. Dart Iron Eagle Heads, 1.6 roller rockers, Victor JR intake & Holley carb. 4 bolt main Chevy .30 over, Keith Black Pistons.
TH350 Tranny,W/QuickDraw 2800 Stall converter.
Ford 9inch narrowed to 34" wide. 4:56 gears. Ladder bar and QA1 coil overs. Mickey Thompson Sportsmans 33x19.5's out back,(maybe I need bigger tires?) Kleber 145/15's up front.
May 05, Actually won our first trophy at our local college car show.
(of course I was the only one in my class, 74-80 modified)
We just got the bodywork & paint done 7/31/04.
It's 87-90 Chevy Tangier Orange. We were thinking of Chevy's Hugger Orange, But this looks alot more vibrant.
Comin' at ya!
Do you think the front tires could be any more narrow?
Got New Meats 5/05. The old ones I got used, and never had them balanced.
This makes a big difference.
I can Finally Cruise the Highway. Though for short jaunts. 65 MPH = 3200 RPM.

Great little car to make into a Street Racer.
It's got to be a THRILL to get on it.
You're gettin' 5 Stars for your Hard work & Investment. Though, it's hard to put a price on a work of Love. The Love Shows! Great Job!
