So, I decided I wanted a street/strip car to beat on during the week and weekends. I got this car for pretty cheap but it was/is in ROUGH shape. This will be my build thread so not only I can store my progress but also so you can follow along in my journey. Car will be a small tire small block nitrous car. Shooting for 400-450 all motor to the wheels and 550-600 on nitrous. Here's a picture of it on the wheels it came with in the shop for the first time.  |

Got it up on jack stands to start pulling the boat anchor it has now. While in the air I test fitted some 15x12 Billet Specialties in the rear. Needless to say, they're about 2 inches too wide.  |

Which speed pro pistons did you get? I built a 355 with some flat top 2 reliefs and was spraying it and that motor was nasty

I bought the short block with rotating assembly. It had a spun rod bearing from bein over revved to like 7500 rpm. |

That will be a fun car to rip around in! I like the sleeper look.
