Well damn - its not that difficult.

In high school I had a dart

To save money put in a roll bar that was sitting at a local shop forever and got a good deal on it. It was for a 69 camaro and the measurements all worked out.

Car was all steel with plexiglass windows (couldnt afford lexan)

440 with 11.5:1 TRW pistons, steel 452 heads with home port job (I probably hurt them more than anything)torker intake, stock ignition, 850 holley DP

727 with shift kit, and some worn out used converter someone gave me

Cheap fiberglass seat, all interior stripped, alum dash, pro stick shifter

8.75 rear for A body with stock axles redrilled by Moser. Swap meet wheels, no spool in rear, 5 gallon fuel cell and batteries in trunk.

Stock leaf springs with pinion snumbber

Car weighed 2850 without me. So at the time 3000....car was very capable of high 10s in good air. Not knowing anything, and being a broke ass high school kid I was happy as hell.

It even looked pretty good. Just was NOTHING fancy or NOTHING that wasnt needed. Everything was boughten at swap meets, traded with friends or was given old worn out parts. Hell the trans just had a shift kit in it.

1.50 sixty foots, with posi and stock rear leafs, we added some extra leafs to beef it up. No idea if that helped or hurt....LOL

Sold that car rolling for 1500 bucks.

Thats what I'm talk'in about!
