Ya i always like the style of these cars. I found this car and knew i found a ok car to start with seeing it run a 9.10@150 with a 750 flywheel HP small block ford. i knew it could runs some good times with the turbo LS1 with over 900HP. i will post up some more pics this week end. i would really like to get some passes this year but time will tell.

Thats sweet. I have always loved the way those look. Thats the first one I have seen with a cowl hood, and its a great look for the car. Keep us updated on it man and good luck. I have my first child on the way so I know what you mean about having to change plans and priorities. Luckily I was able to still get my car running again, but some of the ther things I wanted to do like widening the rims and new tires now have to wait for at least a year or two, but its well worth it IMHO
