I probably have more experience building and racing cars than a lot of you.

I started drag racing at 17, and built a Pro-Street Camaro.
468ci Ratt, 600 HP, Muncie Rock Crusher, Narrowed Ford 9". High 10 sec car.

Started racing Karts as a child, on to 100cc shifter Karts, Mini Sprints to the 360/410 Sprint Cars, that would definitely scare the hell out of you guys.

So, why am I getting all this crap from you two ?

If you can't stop being critical and not positive to this build, then just quit responding, I'm tired of you.

I'm trying to get my "high sprit for life" back after getting scammed and all my bad health issue's, and your not helping. If you don't have anything good to say, then don't speak at all.

May not look great today, but back in the day, my car was cool.
And built most of it myself.

Hell dude. Wasn't trying to get on you! I only responded in the spirit of letting others know. I know you know what you are doing for sure! BTW, that's a nice car you have there!

It's RodKnock you have to watch out for. He's the one who suggested you sell a kidney overseas in order to finance your FE. Personally, I thought that was in poor taste.

PLEASE,...keep them flaps closed. Don't want you to be humiliated that there's little to see inside.

Is that a "back half" car? Looks like you tubbed the wheel wells. Again, very nice...

Yes, the back half was tubed and chrome moly tubing chassis and roll bar.
4-link suspension and adjustable shocks. Stock front suspension with drag shocks. If I recall correctly, the best time was 10.86.

Since I helped a man that raced Dirt Late Model's, I got Av Gas (aviation fuel) the engine ran pretty cool on the street. When I changed to Sprint Car fuel (Methanol) it ran too cool, unless in heavy downtown traffic on a blistering hot day/night.

I sold it to that man's son (to buy our house) after he *****ed and complained to him that he wanted a street car and not go IMCA racing (go figure) ?
He tore up almost new 33" Mickey's to the cords, and the Corvette flywheel and clutch in three weeks. Then, showing off when a friend was working the pickup window at a Wendy's, dumped the clutch, spun, and took out the entire corner of the brick building, and totaled my/his Camaro !

My wife Patty told me not to sell it to him as he will wreck it, but I though he'd be ok, year, right !

He totaled out his first car, a nice 68' Camaro, lost his license in one year after totaling my car, putting the whole family on Risk Aid insurance. 5 (good) girls one bad boy. His dad Lavern, spoke with my father (attorney) and he told them not to let the kid to drive until he was 18, which they did anyway, and when he totaled my car, the insurance company dropped all 8 family members.

Lavern and his wife came down to my parents house asking what can they do now, Dad said,...you can now all ride motorcycles !

Lavern had a very,...successful carpet business and he had to hire a guy to drive him to his job sites.

Great man, great race driver,..... but very stupid !
