I have owned this car for awhile. We used to take it on long road trips in the summer, do burnouts and the odd pass at the airport. It had my home built 390 and a wide ratio TL in it.
A couple of years ago I started to convert it to a drag stick car. So this about were it's at now.
We've made 14 runs with it now in this configuration.
