very nice build up. cant wait to see the finished product and final numbers.(et)

I used to do work with my dad until he passed. our finest work was a 70 nova with a 496 on a 9 inch tire that went 9 teens on a 200 shot. I had this car in 1988-89.

I wish I would have learned more from him, cherrish the time now and learn as much as possible.

6/14/09 update the car is now at home.we still have lots of work to do befor i can take her to the dragstrip.
the front end is from AJE it orignaly had motor mounts for the factory hook up.i wanted the motor plates so while it was at the chassie shop that was the time to do it,matt added the brace on each side.the motor plate and mid plate is from skinny kid.matt said he normaly puts the motor lower but the instructions didnt call for that.i have about 2 1/2 inches all around the steering rack and oil pan.

7/26/09 update:

well guys i am not going to have the car finished until late september.i have many things done but i am only a one man band.i just finished the wireing i dont clame to be a wireing guru but the K&R kit makes things simpler.the next thing to tackel is the headers i am going to try and modify the hooker swap headers.the headers dont fit too well on the passenger side so i have purchased some J tubeing to fix the problem hopefully?their is a problem on the drivers side with the steering shaft rubbing may not be that big of a deal.
