Mate check out that hairry looking bloke holding the trophy. Looks like the wild man from Borneo!! Knowing you now have about as much hair as i do
that is certainly a blast from the past!!
Will be very nice to see the ol girl back on the track doing what she did best.

Put some dates on those photo above Craig.
It was the '70's when I last saw a photo with the rounded corners I think.
Also a few specs on you past engines and tranny's.
How fast was it when you last ran?
We want some info!!!!

From memory you "street" ratios were
3.778(stock L first ratio)
2.21(?cant remember that one)
1.556
1.19
Not sure I would call that street, but that is for another topic.
Street cars are ones that get driven, end of story.
(and they dont have tow hooks Craig!!)
Just stiring you up Craig!
How do you plan to get the ends of the hard tube up through the stock openings
at both ends Craig?

The only thing I say, is We'd better see your car racing at Warwick this year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sum street cars are better prepared to race (drag , track work ,rally ,ect ) then others . Worms live in dirt !
