    My 65 Impala SS
    Duece 5 window (I already got the flathead)
    55 or 57 Chevy 150 done early 60's style
    Big Block Mopar
    Retro NASCAR car.

      I was at Bonneville in 1971 with my buddy's fuel roadster,and another guy on the crew and I were looking at the Redhead,and he said"You know that car has really gone downhill.I wish I could by it."I agreed with him.Little did we know,it was for sale cheap.Ed Harding bought it and installed a blown flathead.
      I was too young,didn't have much money,and didn't think too ask.

              Speak for yourself. I just got a used particle accelerator for Livermore Labs and I'm planning to split myself with it so I can drive all my cars at once. If you see a really bright light and hear a loud boom coming from West Los Angeles; it's just me screwing up the time space continuum.

                  Gee that's a tough question. Would the tuckered out 454 in a heavier Caprice with an auto trans and peg leg 12 bolt beat the newer badly tuned 383 with the four speed I'm too chicken to speed shift?

                        1) something that runs on nitro
                        2) something that goes 200 mph
                        3) something that does wheelies
                        4) something that pulls 10kRPM ++
                        5) a gasser

                          This one I thought was pretty easy until I got to #4.

                          Here they are in no order,

                          Caddi XLR Pro-Mod, we started acquiring parts for but the MI economy took a dump.
                          Something like the Pro-Mod Duster at PRI this year
                          VW Bug that could run the Baja 1000
                          Any pony car but with suttle changes that you need to look for.
                          Riviera Boatback love those cars!!!

                            i can't decide between a late 60's era fuel funny car, or a '71 vega.
                            i've always had a image in my mind though of building a '33, it would probably look like the 554 mooneyham coupe, but flat black.
                            it would have to run on nitro, and drive on the street. ok, so that one will never happen.

                              57 Cadillac Eldorado blarittz
                              Big Wing Daytona or Superbird
                              32-34 ford roadster flathead

                              I think this would be a good start.
