A Domestic in a Sea of Imports!

[shiftingearz]

Here is my pride and joy. I know for some it may not be appealing but I thought I would share my love of cars.

It started out as a grandma car red/orange with a white vinyl roof and hub caps! This is the earliest pic I could find right now,

This is what it looks like as of the end of last year at Atco.

Here are a bunch of pics of the build,

Veru cool...is the the Pinks all out race dude?

 

[SCFast]

Nice...I think you get a pass on this one!

 

[Dar-Dar]

It looks like a beast!

 

[KennyGS]

Very nice! I used to have a '70 Nova SS. It was hugger orange, 4 speed muncie rock crusher transmission, and 350 cu.in. I owned it until the late 70's. It was fun to drive.

Thanks everyone! And yes that was from Pinks All Out in Englishtown '08. Here is a video my wife took from the practice session. It was only the 3rd time it was at the track and the suspension wasn't dialed in, as you can tell from it hopping off the line!

Sheesh w..t...f...that's a monster.

So is 10.4 your best run so far?

 

[webby]

very nice... it's cool to see builds like that. How did it do on Pinks?

 

[shiftingearz]

Best run is a 10.24@129mph. It went 10.52 @ Pinks. They picked a 9.90 class so I didn't make the cut but I did get a split second of my car launching when it was aired on SPEED!
