Nice car Kev. But as I said in the ad, I just can't afford to keep racing right now, so I thought I would trade for a cheaper hobby, one that doesn't require weekly entry fees and expensive race gas.

Hi Jeff,. what are you looking to get out of it roller only Thanks Dan
Answer:
I would like to get $8,000 out of the roller. Roller would be everything less the engine, trans, and ignition system. I would through in the headers and motor plates, plus the extra rear end gear. I will be meeting this Saturday with NHRA officials to have the chassis certified. I am certain it will certify to 8.50 ET maybe better.

Answer:
No Thanks Nice car but I am looking to get out of racing because I can no longer afford it. I am going to have the chassis certified this Saturday. Once I do my price may go up. At least it will be much more desirable. I am hoping to find a rat rod or street rod. Thanks for sending me your pictures.

Kris, Thanks but I am not interested in another race car. If you can come up with some cash I could certainly be willing to negotiate.

Question:
how fast have the car been becaue i want to put a 632 in it
Answer:
With the engine set up I have it has been 6.20 at 115mph in the 1/8. I am sure it would be much faster with your setup. I will be lowering the price for the roller to $6,500. I have found a vehicle I want to buy but need to sell mine first so I can come up with the cash for the next toy.

Answer:
I am certain the chassis will hold up. When I had it certified the NHRA tech official said all it need to certify 7.50ET was an X bar under the trans, an X bar under the mid bar of the hoop behind the seat and an X bar on each side of the firewall. The tubing is all .134 thick mild steel Jeff On [2008-08-24 19:37:35] bigboy18 wrote: > do you think the chassie will twist with a big motor > > On [2008-08-24 17:54:20] jeffejoy wrote: > > With the engine set up I have it has been 6.20 at 115mph in the 1/8.
