I know this is a little different than most, but I've always wanted one. Picked a little a-100 up last August and have been slowly getting it fixed up. Needed some rust repair and 7 layers of paint removed! Had a small block in it, but wasn't done. Was a stock slanty truck. I have a 471 I'm putting together for it. 727 with a tci streetfighter.I just finished building and installing a Dana with ladder bars 4.10 gears. Getting ready to start on the roll bar. I think it should be kinda fun! See if the picture works. [img] https://image.ibb.co/bYXsKc/image.jpg[img]

I took a highway blast in one of those that ran like 12.70s. I have been in vehicles much faster and they were far less scary lol. Watching him stop wrestling that big steering wheel long enough to click the stock shifter up a gear was interesting.

Looks cool! I would also be interested in your disc conversion.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I finally joined the board today and lo and behold this posting comes up! Nice to see other A's being seriously hot rodded. That will be one fast A-100 for sure, and a major attention getter. Just had my 67 410 stroker A100 van at the 1/8 for its first runs, still have dialing in to do and perfecting the launch technique, weidest thing really on the track is staging being your on top of the wheels. Seems like excessive deep staging. Good luck with the build, look forward to following along towards its first run!
