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 !
