Re: Old School Rocket Car Build
Thanks for the compliments!....yes, having a blast....after its all said and done, i will rebuild the car with new Factory Works chassis parts, new 67' Camaro body, and enter it next year in botm....but i want to get the best engine combination first....
Got the car rebuild...it was pretty tweeked...before going back to single barrels, I want to play around with 3 engines in two stages...so it doesn't have too much power at takeoff but will pull hard late...

Just makes me grin 
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
