looking for a 1/4 mile body

Nope. It's a different motor that he's putting in his 66 truck. This one's sort of a spare or extra or ......hell I don't know.

"SHIT" were not rolling yet....were a carb, a starter, headers and an trans from a car...Oh Shit A CAR!!!!lolOh shit I have a started.....

I also have alot of 4the generation Corvette goodies, seat belts sway bars serpintine belt kit Brake M/C and maybe some early corvette parts if I sweet talk the old man....

this is funny.. I think we are going to be able to make this happen. I'm having fun and haven't even seen a car yet. lol

about the only thing i have to offer parts wise is that small block that needs built. and of course some of my time...

My small block is a runner but a 305 but a good learner for those fresh on the 1/4

lol yeap it is
we must have woke some people up

that Nova is wicked. I took a bunch of pics of that car down in Somerset

I also have one of those old Mallery tachs that has a built in rev limiter in it. that will keep th eengine together for a while.

OK guys lets put our collective minds together, search in the far reaches of the dusty dank garages, the lonely alley's around town and see what kinda cars/bodies we can scare out of the brush..I'm gonna make a call and see what I can scare up..
What I have to offer is
1. 40 Chev Pick-up CAb (no doors)
2. 48 Ford F-1 Bobber stlye truck (have to check with my partner...

I'm leaning toward Steve's alley find...
anybody else have any ideasz?????
That wagon would be cool too...

i was talking to stewart yesterday. that 50's chevy around the corner has sat there for 5 or more years. ive never seen the guy work on it. it might be touchable but im thinking more of the lines of 2-5K. i could possible be wrong. Stewart is this the same guy thats got that black s10 with a v8 in it. he had a monte or cutlass a couple years ago with a nice paint job on it??

That car looks a bit rough for that price, hell I only paid 4k for mine.......There are more out there, I was thinking more in the 2 to 5 hundred range

Jr Ard is the guy you are talking about. the guy that owns the old chevy is Jr's cousin.

*********
one thing I want everyone to know that gets involved with the 1/4 mile car is???:
1. the car will belong to the club.
2. anyone can help out on the car. if you don't want to be part of this . no big deal. if you do, great
3. we have all winter to get the car done. no set work session. when you want to wrench . go at it.
4. THIS IS THE BIG ONE** Do not donate parts that you want to keep. all parts donated to the race car becomes property of the car club. only donate parts that you can afford to let go. we have enough resources that one person shouldn't have to spring for a lot of stuff by himself. The (HA/GR) Rail's downfall was letting everyone take their donations back after it was almost built. Then talk of selling it because of the money some members had in it and wanting to get their money back in their pockets.
THE CAR WILL BELONG TO THE CLUB. all parts work time and everything involved with the car will be a club investment.
The reason for the push to get a car? some of us have been talking and by the looks of this thread others think it's a good idea too. there was talk of hauling whats left of the HA/GR down here to get it finished but after the chapter split some of the guys are seeing a line across the Ohio river. not sure what thats all about but I'm not going to let it hold us back from having some fun...

so we are searching for a pre72 cheaper the better correct

No wonder Steve couldn't be quiet or be still last night! Sounds like Jr Ard is going to get ambushed this weekend!!

I've got a 56 customline that I want to sell. I'm suppose to get an engine and tranny from a friends 78 cutlass. He would probably sell the car.

There ya go. That Ford with Jeff's 460 and the straight axle, engine back 10%, Newspaper scoop, tint the windows and your in business. B/Gas to the staging lanes!
