        • Thanks, I went for a 25 mile drive to town today, with several stops. It mostly behaved. I think we'll make the gamble and haul the car out to Atlanta, and see what it does on the drag strip. It's not been over 65 miles per hour yet. But it did ok at that speed.

              • not when I'm driving around town--no wheelie bars, no slicks, no racing scoop, no zoomies. I put that stuff on at the strip.

                • Wowza !!!!! Any worries about the air pushing the rear window out? It is an awsome build.

                      Well yeah, I was thinking HILBORN! I envy you. Looks like you will blow minds at DW then continue having BIG FUN adding details for some time. Don't forget the "Injection is nice, but...." T-Shirt.

                      Historical perspective, weed burners. No zoomies until late 69 or 70. I first saw them on the Brutus 68 converted to 69 Firebird.

                        • Lots of things have been suggested as a name, but it's still Almost Funny. Definitely weed burners, but not many know that term

                          • I honestly like the blank canvas look! Shows off your build quality and doesn't detract from the mods you've made!
