To be honest, I wouldnt build another race car, it
would be a nice street car thats quick.... I've had
enough of the racing BS(most of it anyways). Thats
why I'm going to really start back working on my
38 streetrod
Gee... thats funny, From day 1, I've always wanted a nice street car thats quick... but its slowly but surely evolving into a race car... 
Me too.

I've got a super nice 38 Ply 2 door touring sedan
with a 440 in it 727 with a 4-link and a 9". Its a
3 seater now with the rear wheel tubs as the arm rest
for the back seat... with a pair of 19x33 under the rear.
I have a 8-71 blower for it but I'm not going cut
my hood to make it fit... I might make a carbon
hood for it and mount the blower... this is a pic
from a few years ago

The problem with having a nice toy to drive on the street is ..
#1 .. People either try to run you in the ditch looking at you .
#2 going to shows bite ,its a soooo boring ..
I have a couple of both, prefer the drags atleast people are beating on the stuff ..best of both worlds , show it, race it

I like that Valiant...I'd like something like that, or a '65 Barracuda, SB car, just a 12-second or slower plaything. The 10-second car is just too much to run by myself sometimes.
My crew chief/guru has a really nice '71 Duster, orange with the big blackout hood treatment & stripes, that I've been lusting over for years. Someday I'd like to RB my '64 Savoy wagon for N/SS. No cooler drag car exists IMO than an SS/A Barracuda, though.
Outside of when my car cards a new Best, or when it goes rounds, or racing friends, the most fun I've had at the drags was with a rented 15-second Stratus in the Import class, laughin' all the way downtrack.

Working fast as I can. As you see, I don't have a very big shop hehehe. Mark Artis up at Texas Thunder built my cage and rear suspension. This is more car than I have ever driven, so I will be bringing it up to Frisco for a good going over before I run it. Probably end up doing my first TnT passes up there.
I am doing all the tin work and rust repair on the floors, and let me tell you it is not easy.
You guys that do this for a living have my utmost and total respect. I have lots of blood, cussing, sweat, and money in this car. It is my dream car, and I cannot wait to run it.
