Got this on Tuesday but it was missing the carb. I orderd a bolt kit and pulleys but that hasn't arrived yet so the engine will sit until I can get everything bolted on it. so i just decided to not run in the Forsyth derby. Wasnt going to kill myself trying to finish it for this weekend so i Slacked off on the build a bit but its coming along. Don't have any current pics yet but will when I get more welding done. Got some 74 impala rear brackets and the 74 rear bumper so that is on the to do list. Trying to patch the floors right now but im just to worn out and really dragging my feet. I hope this car holds its own and kicks a$$

Its a Gropp grunt series 355. When I fire it up i'll video it and post it on here. Was built for power so hopefully my heavy foot will be a perfect match. Its going to be a fun car to drive. Im debating weather or not to build my own drive shaft or go with a slider.

Will they let this run in Miles City? I thought Miles was a pretty stock show? I can't wait to see this run!

I talked to Matt when I got these 74 impala rear brackets and bumper from him. I kind of got an idea of what I can do in some areas but still can't guage just how much I can do in other areas. To be honest I have never seen a set of miles city rules. Im building it to forsyth rules hoping there will be no questions asked when I get to inspection. I think this car will be the knife in the gun fight. I know there will be some cheated up cars in miles city and everything I have done to this car is visible. Just a good build

I guess I need to find some Miles rules also, I thought they were factory bumper stock show rules. Maybe they changed them?
