That died a long time ago.. originally I wanted to do a REAL budget build.. with a stock subframe (Gulstrand mod), leaf springs and simple stuff.
Well, once I was asked to run a fancy suspension that went out the window. Also, at this point I'm building a car to "replace" Penny.
The irony is that it will NOT be faster than Penny.. might be faster on the drag strip or standing mile, but not in the twisties.. Penny was built using many one off and proto parts.
Track Rat will be a FUN car.. and to be honest I'm more interested in having fun then doing the whole "one upping the Joneses" in terms of building the fastest car out there, especially since I can't compete with many of the hotshoe drivers out there. So, the plan is fun
And since this car is "replacing" Penny, I need it to be of a certain standard.
At least the '67 I'm building if pretty budget.. still not what I would really want to do if I could do things my way.
