Your coupe looks to be put together well and would be a one man show to get on the track. Hmmmmmmmm!

Thanks for the compliment,I raced a 6 race series down here in Vintage V-8 class and more often than not, I am a one man show,occasionally my daughter comes along and helps out....The biggest thing on race day is making sure I fill the fuel cell before the feature race and double check tire air pressures.....the car has been as reliable as the truck I tow it with and easy on parts.....I have not had a DNF in any race I started in 7 seasons!!!!!
I also have a 65 fastback,it's a street car,thought about turning it into a race car, but decided against it...In most Vintage race venues that use the older rules of "back in the day", the coupes were given a few "breaks" to compete with the GT 350's....rear disc brakes was one thing they allowed and the coupes are a little lighter and body wise, actually stronger than a fastback,so I decided on a couple rather than a fastback....Intial cost of the car was also a big consideration as the coupes are more plentiful and a lot less expensive to buy up front, leaving me more money to spend on the build...
