How I acquired this car:

A friend had been looking for a new transmission for his race car, so I decided to post a wanted ad on Cal-Look.com for a close ratio trans with all the goodies. A few days later, I received an e-mail from Eddie Boyle who lives in Lodi, California. He stated that he had a built trans for sale that was in an old race car and would be willing to sell the trans and car to me for $1,000.00...I figured it must be pretty thrashed so I asked him to send a few pictures. From the pictures he sent, I decided that the car might be something to check out...so, I hooked up the trailer and took the drive up north. When he opened the storage garage...I couldn't believe how nice and complete the car was...and even though it looked like it needed some upgrades, I didn't hesitate to load it up and bring it back home.  

Check out the stout cage work that is in the car...

I've decided that since I was going to re-build the car to fit my needs, I would have the rear torsion raised 3" and the transmission another 1" so the car would launch like a "Super Street" car and have that Pro-Stock look so while I'm doing the chassis modifications, I will be welding the down bars ontop of the frame horns where they belong.

Plans and progress of the car

I plan on narrowing the front beam about 4" and installing 3" dropped spindles. I will be raising the rear torsion 3" and cleaning up the cage. I put the front end and all the rear fiberglass on dzus fasteners so that everything is easy to remove at the track. I purchased a new set of Lexan windows for the new look. I plan on stuffing an 8.5" slick on the rear to get the power to the ground.
