Well Paint it like the old Barracuda and it will always be a crowd favorite the way it launches. Looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait to see you competing and winning in it. I hope not... Love the simple, and clean look of the car now. We all know Al will sell it in the future, and a simple paint job will help that sale on a car like this.

I knew I should have bought that car. Doug LOL Every time I see the car I think the same thing. Either way, it made it's way into good hands and has been maintained and upgraded well.

Doug, I have made a few changes to the car for sure. A few engine tweaks and a tad more power. New cage wheels tires shocks blah blah blah. Its about .3 faster than it was. Basically alot of "under the skin" changes. Still need to make the converter better for sure. Its WAY to tight. But now time to tear it apart and find some more and make it pretty.
Jay, no it will be apart. I cant run with the "fancy" ignition anyway I hear. Maybe one day ill try and analog box in it.
Jake car came from Michigan a few years ago. St Claire Shores to be exact. My understanding from the previous owner was that it didnt get out much and had not been in years when I picked it up.
No worries it will be painted the same color it is and will fix all the stainless etc. No crazy paint on this car. My son really wants me to paint it red like the 65 I sold. But I like the low key blue. I bought a taller scoop for it as well but that's not even going on it now. I know what I have works after fighting this thing for a couple of years.

Al: So when do you plan on showing off the 170 mph super street truck? Curious minds want to know.
Thanks Looking like next year. It should already be together but I have had some issues with the converter wanting to go in. Had a long talk with them yesterday and I think we have it figured out, so it went back yesterday. Hpope to be testing soon. Still some small stuff to finish up in the wiring, headlights etc. Get the lights in the front end, seal up the top of the firewall and then of course do some quick paint correctioin and coating on it. Then hit the track. But its close..It aint EVER gonna see 170 on the stop at least. Has enough power to get there off it I think. This thing is not exactly aero and has a HUGE frontal area. But should be fun and hopefully as fast as the Cuda.

Come to elevation. More rpm more stall more timing. Besides mine is just a little guy compared to what you two have

I was in the .030's but I am sure if I work at it I can get a bit better. That was with a 28" front tire.
