I have a few cars I'm building but I'll be doing a build thread on this car. I'll be running it in the vt state championship. I plan on testing a 350 out of a 72 impala out in it and a tranny that will be our first rebuilt of our own. I stripped the car last winter but never got to finishing it. I'll be getting it in the garage soon. Tom

I've ran big bars on the side of my cars the past two years. I'm debating just welding a big plate on my door from now on

I usally cut them off at 45s but ran out of oxy the day of the derby. Car was kind of rushed when finishing it. I will have them cut next run. Tom

I do actully have an update some really good friends came over and finished gutting the car and put motor and trans in it for me. They also gave the trusty 305 a full tune up. I've been supper busy with a grand marquis that I'm running in NY in june so I havent touch the caprice myself. Heres a few pics of the caprice plus a pic or 2 of the car for NY. TOM
