Not an F-Body but I couldn't afford to keep both. Yes, it still needs work! I'm driving the Ugly Nova.

... not the best but it's only from a digital camera.

It's an all motor 383 with a powerglide. It went a 10.59 on Friday night and 10.71 in the heat on Saturday, both times @ Island Dragway. The front springs need to be changed, I'm going with ram air instead of the cowl induction and rejetting the carb. I hope to see some low 10's in the future.

Thanks Melissa, it was good to be back, I was going into withdrawal! You probably didn't see her because she was sitting in the air conditioned truck! She got out to take pics when I raced.

We are doing the body work this week, it's going to PINKS on the 25th so it has to be finished. We are going with House of Kolors chameleon paint, magenta to gold.

that color is awesome. theres a junior dragster that has that color, it looks great.
