Yeah right now the kids get me tools and watch. I can't wait for them to start working on stuff.

Right now I am just looking up the sweet novas on here and making excel based builds. I am a realist and like to keep track of the money and hard work it took to make the car happen.

Your car is sweet. I am digging the ghost flames in the stripes and the green paint. She must stand out great at night.

I have to wait a bit to get my shell. I hope to snag something up around tax return time

SOLD!

I built an 240sx and spent close to 20k on it and didn't give me the gratification a muscle car would.

I really want to take this on and do all of the work myself. By hook or by crook.

Right now I am just reading all of these Nova threads soaking this all in. Right now I have read alot on the suggested front ends and what parts fit where. I have a lot to learn but this is really fun.

Yeah this place was the nail in the coffin. I have been reading my Hot Rod magazines for years and making notes of the couple builds they did where the motors could sustain high revs. Now that there is a solid trend heading towards handling I am done.

I am impressed and give respect to those that go down the 1/4 mile fast (quick lol) but it really isn't for me. I like roadracing and keeping my foot in it for a while.

Plus NJ is finally getting our own racetrack so things will be great in a few years. No more travelling to VIR or Beaverun to get my rocks off.

YEA! Thunderbolt Raceway!
