I've had one for 10 years, started with a 360/904/ 8 3/4 went 11.80's. At the end it had a 416/904 9" and went 9.73. Bought a tube chassis arrow last spring put my 416/904 in it and went 9.31 the first weekend. Spent all summer changing everything from the bigblock chevy/glide set-up to my 416/904, played with the suspension,got it to leave fairly straight and went 9.32 the last weekend. So I'm not a new Arrow driver but I've got a new Arrow to drive.

Well, I dont have any ET's to brag about cause the car was sold before finished. However here is one I bought 4 years ago. I was surfing E-bay & saw it in the background of a pic for another car. I asked via e-mail was it for sale. $2800 bucks he replied. It was in a small town just west of Winston-Salem, NC. So I drove over from Raleigh & it was in a quasi hut surrounded buy old muscle cars. Mostly Mopar. I offerd $2200.00 without looking it over too good due to it being boxed in. He accepted. We drug it out & I saw it had very nice paint, but a badly dented fender that had started to rust. Seller told me it was out of South Carolina & had been run with a sb chevy for a few years. Got it home & found out no matter how I tried I just could get comfortable in it. With my helmet on my head hit the roof. I was busy with my White Satellite sorting out bugs so I decide I didn't want it & offered it for sale. A guy from Durham, NC came over agreed to pay $2200.00 so I sold it to him. He seemed to know a lot about these cars. He had a lot off pre-bent roll bar tubbing in his pick-up. Said it was chrome molly for a Fairlane he was building. He assured me he would put a Mopar engine in it. I asked him to stay in touch & he said he would, but I have never heard from him since. Said he ran Piedmont & Mooresville in NC. So maybe someone out there knows how the car is comming along. Should be finished by now.

We'll try this, second or third time should be the charm . This was from the last weekend last fall, after putting in an anti-roll bar. This is a scaned picture, the color is actually red like Eric's

BIGS, you wouldn't be interested in a set of Prostars similar to the wheels on my car would you? Just the backs.

It only does a 1.31, 1.32 60 foot. Going to put the 4.56's back in it for this spring and see what it does I'm trying also to get it to not be as violent when it leaves. Might lower the bars some more and shorten the front limiters up a little.

Hopefully I can park mine there sometime. So what does your car weigh ? It looks like it might have a funny car cage in it, so certified to 7.50? Has the wheel base been lengthened? My new one is 6 inches longer then my old Arrow, drives way nicer.
