That's incredible!

So it'll be a good thing to have him help me? Maybe some of that luck will rub off! :bow:

That's cool. It'll be a good opportunity for you, cuz if you screw it up, well, it's not your car. :lol:

awesome first post... like it was said.. keep it simple, light and buisness looking.. take a look at nelson racings 2.gen, its flat green and still awesome looking..

there are many dollars to be saved buying used nascar stuff on ebay, race brakes, spindles steering components and so on... the BBC with aluminum heads might not be perfect weight wise, but the Hp will definately giv eyou an edge, especially if you have some decent straights on the track.. just set it as far rearward as possible

if there is anything i can do to help, let me know..

just off the top of my head i only have a pair of BBC long tube headers to donate to the cause... but let me know if you are interested

Is there a time limit for completion? Does your BBC have iron heads?

I have no headers, so these would be very welcome!

Also, since I'm not that up on NASCAR stuff on ebay, if you could point me in the right direction to some links, I'd really appreciate it! :bow:

Not really. I've got a year, year and a half or so. I travel a lot for work, so working on th eproject will come in spurts. He works here, too, so he gets the schedule issues.

I dunno. I need to go get it next weekend.

You might want to hit up alot of the subframe companies to sponsor you with one of their subs. This would be an excellent way for them to demonstrate how good their product really is, not just claims and skewed magazine articles, but an average joe that, with company ABC's product in it, smoked one of the best handling production cars out their! There's a certain company with 3 letters in their name that are starting to make your year subs and rear suspensions. They are one of the best companies out their!
Same deal with the other parts(Brakes, tires, etc.)
This, and the $50 paint job(LOL!), just might bring you in on budget!

Good Luck!

John
