My kids always want to take the hotrod when we go somewhere. My daughter (8y/o) always wants me to do burnouts.

Default "Street Cars"

I have a 72 GS that was a drag only car at one time. I'm running a SBC with a 671 blower. When I started to drive it on the street I hated it. The ladder bar suspension and locked rear end with a 456 gear made it horrible to drive. I changed it to a 4 link with a posi and 370 gears. Changed the racing seats to some seats with padding for a** comfort. I'm not fast anymore but I scare the hell out the kids with their pocker rockets, and sound good doing it. I don't race the car just show n go now.
Oh yeah its been tubbed and has a 6 point cage. Hope this helps you decide. My plates read "Old Kid". I'm 61 years young. :twisted:
