pro street alive and well
 

my profession is in the sign industry and this past wk end i was up
on a 60ft sign installing new panels for a body shop, when i felt the
lift vibrat and heard the sounds of the drag strip. I look down and
there before me was the convoy of pro-street cars around 10 just
cruisin slow and they were all beautiful big meat radical cam lift
cars, the one that stuck out was a bright orange 70 malibu with
white stripes, and boy they all looked like they were having the time
of their life, lets cruise and spread the love :wink:

A-MAN TO THAT

That is GREAT!!! I have a Pro Street car that I have been working on for a few years.

beautiful, now go out and spread the love, let'em hear ya coming down
the street, rumbling, stumbling, bumbling, they'll run in their house
and lock their doors, the pro-streets coming crusin around 8)

i'm sure i'll have a few locking there doors and calling 911 on me.i'm building a 540bbc that is blown and injected alky engine in a 64 chevyll nova wagon made into a 2 door sedan delivery with full chassis..YES IT WILL SEE SOME STREET USE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)

I like hearing stories like this. I am very anxious to be out driving for the summer
It would be nice if I could find guys around my area with similar cars for cruising

yea i thought so, thro some oil out there, smell of rubber, brings out
all the pro-streeters. very nice, respectable hotrods, makes me want
to go and put a bigger cam in the family car, go out for ice cream. :wink:

I really enjoyed building and driving them prostreet cars when I was younger but I lacked the disipline needed to keep my foot out of it and many speeding tickets and many a night at the illegal street races narrowly avoiding capture by the police sent me packing, so I took my passion to the track and never looked back. Dont get my wrong now I love seeing them bad a$$ street cars and more power to ya, I'll just smile and give a thumbs up while I'm driving by in my big American made suv like it has a egg under the throttle pedal.

Here is my Pro Street that I built in 1988. It has a L-88 427 that "had" a 6-71 blower but she launched to the moon.

LOL...... The thought had crossed my mind to put flows and a nitrous kit adn other mustang mod's on my ex-wifes HO V8 explorer, that thing ran real strong and I wasn't affraid to race anybody from a stop light, I especially enjoyed whooping up on them big pipe ricers that thought they had a hotrod. They would look at me and think I got this chump when I reved it up at the light trying to get a race and then I would run off and leave them in the dust.
I can see it now, skinnies up front and ET streets slicks on the back I would of had the first explorer in the 11's...lol

Mine is going to West Virginia! Take me home....

you gona build another some day?

Pro street is alive and well in Ohio[img]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...g/marion07.jpg[/img]

VERY NICE LOOKIN' CAR!!!Drive it much??What's it run???

I drive it whenever I can!! We take it to local cruises,to get the boys from football practice,or just to go get coffee on sunday morning.
It runs 10.70's on a street tune,but we have the tranny(we think) to spray it this year so we are hoping for mid to low 9's with a full effort we hope to get there with no more than a 300 hp. shot,but we are going to see where 175 gets us to start with.
Thanks for the interest and comments[img]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1.../midlife-1.jpg[/img]

very nice clean vega, motor is clean, looks great and fun to drive.
like the color is that factory color? :wink:

A few weeks ago while crewing I happened across a car with an F1 Procharger stuffed under the hood...
One of them under the hood of a 61 Bubbletop just might cure the urge...

And for the record, I drove all over the street with 700hp and NEVER once had an issue...other than consuming tons of C16.

Very cool Jeff,very cool!!!!I hope you run an aircleaner on the street :shock: :D
