drag racing comes first, then everything else. this is my project i hope to have to this year and running around and wasting my money on
certainly not me, but i guess i will settle this time
its painted concrete enclosed porch. the paint is about 40yrs old and is chipping apart in different spots

I dig the SS. My cousin had one in silver that he wouldn't let me drive until he got it just right. He got it just right and it was stolen out of his driveway the night before I was to drive it. My buddy's wife had one in Brown with the orange stripes. That SS was stolen and recovered three times before they got rid of it. Never got to drive that one, either. So what I guess I'm saying is, can I drive your car?

just finishing up this car for a stock suspension class, gonna be a small block on spray. the cap on teh class is 8.20 so he hopes to go a bit faster then back the car down a little to try to get some consistency out of it
