I've got my project!


Hello, I've been looking for a Fastback or Squareback for sometime now, and
finally
found one.

My intentions were to get a Fastback or Squareback, and turn it into a
Pro-streeter type
car.  My new project is a 73 Fastback with a 4 speed.  I really wanted a
automatic, because
I'll be drag racing at the local track with it, and need the consistency of
an auto.

The car hit a tree in the front, and the previous owner cut off all the
sheet metal, too
place a fiberglass front end on it.  Luckly, that works great for me, as
this car would
probally end up as a parts car, or scrap metal if I didn't get it.

I know, that some of you will probally not like that I'm "cutting" on the
car, but as I
see it, the car was doomed anyway, so I might as well save it anyway I can.

Anyway, here are my plans for project "Resto-Racer"

One-piece front end (because its all ready cut off)
Lightened floor pan
Stock glass with cal-look rubber
Stock exterior trim
Automatic tranny (modified valve body, and torque converter)
Stock body color

2007cc engine
78mm Demello crank
90.5 pistons/cylinders
Engle 125 cam
Berg rods
40x35.5 ported & polished heads
Weber 44's
Dog house fan shroud
etc.

Hopefully, the car should run in the 13's when I'm done.  I've got most of
the engine parts,
and now I'm going to start on the body.

Hopefully be able to get some photos on somebody's web page.
See ya
