Well I'm going to do it. I'm going to build a drag car for the 1/8th mile.
I originally got the POS 67 coupe from Dave Sanborn to make a trailer out of it. I may still do that but recently I bought another 67 coupe from John, aka janshutz. I went down to Texas Labor day weekend with my dad to pick it up. It's a shell and so was the POS so I will be accumulating a lot of stuff. I did buy a bunch of goodies from James aka jrherald420 a few months ago and I have a lot of stuff laying around. I did get trunk hinges from RyanG85 (and still owe him a modified fuel filler). I need lots of stuff so I may be posting in the wanted section. I have traded some of my RC toys for some 289 heads and other SBF stuff. John threw in a C4. I plan to use a 351W out of my old motor home with the C4. The 67 I got from John was rear-ended (I don't think Ko67 did it!) so it needs rear quarters and frame rails. I may cut the frame rails out of the POS. If I could fab up stuff like J I would back-half the car but I'm not that talented. The dash is cut also so I will take the dash out of the POS or just fab up a flat panel. This build is of course on a budget so I will be doing what I can with as little as possible. That means trading work, parts and occasionally cash for parts.
POS
289 heads milled .040" with 351W valves, ported and roller rockers and a Street Dominator Holley Intake I got on a trade
67 loaded up at John's
and home
the thing I like about the one I got from John is no rust!
It has some pits and holes in the roof but I think I can fix them. It has disc brakes so that's cool too. It needs steering gear box, idler arm, drag link and stuff but the POS has that so I can swap it over. The car I got from John had power brakes too, I think the booster is going into my red car, it also had AC which I gave my dad for his 66.
a few of the parts I have for the project
It's a good thing I live in KY, there are two 67's under the deck and two in the garage!
