No. I do think about how fast I could go in it though. It is about 1000 pounds lighter than the Lark.

Sorry if I missed it but. Speedtigger, any updates on your Pro Charger build? Very interested. Thinking about going that way ourselves.

been picking at the Camaro some more. driveshaft is done, 3.5 dual exhaust is done, and it's at f85 customs having vintage air installed. from there I need to pull every wire and go back in with American autowire and Dominator EFI.

Look, if you don't have the time to drive it, I'm sure I could make some time in my busy schedule and find a way to take it for a spin or three hehe

any updates?

even though it isn't carb....my junk is soooo close to being finished. I upgraded the heat exchanger, modified the blower, added the 16lb pulley to the blower, installed the dual phantom fuel system, blah blah blah. the fluids are topped off, it's rewired from headlights to tail lights and I'm having connection issues between the dominator ECU and the laptop. it's doing goofy **** and I cannot start it. it sucks to be so close to firing a project you haven't heard in years, and something so silly prevents it. I should have slapped a carb on this car and been driving it a year ago.

i'll cruise with anyone. My brother in law and I are thinking about hitting up the 99/59 meet tomorrow. the Camaro still has things to be done, but it's drivable. This is is 47 pickup. stock 5.3 on a s10 frame. I got that bitch hooking in a car wash with the same setup I had in my s10. need to get a 6.0 in that thing for some real action. it scoots pretty good for a stock 5.3.

another delivery...I was just telling a co-worker that I would probably be more wealthy with a drug addiction than a car addiction.

Been on the street a few times, but with trying to sell a house, 3 deals falling through, inspections on new house, dealing with sellers to keep the one we picked....tough year for us.
No track time in 2019 Still carbed

BUT....4ac, deer in the yard almost every day (stand down in the woods and 1 doe in freezer now looking for the big buck) I only bow hunt.
Still working 6-7 days a week.
AND 15 minutes closer to Cecil too.

SOON (next year)…... as I have to put some door bars in and get an updated helmet.
