Thanks for explaining the Mirror switch,but even moreso for putting the originals back on. ;)

Engine compartment.

Lol,....I agree. Things looked cool back then, not so much now.

The drive train and suspension are still on the drag race side, but the interior and exterior look a lot more original and street driven then before.

Very nice !

My personal preference for wheels would be the Cragars.

Thank you. I am a big Cragar SS fan myself, but the ones I had on this car had the wrong rear offset, and were 14 inch. I had already purchased them for my 73 Camaro but never had a chance to put them on.

The Superlites were the hot item then, so I went with them and bought 15s with the right offset,....plus when Cragar bought out Weld, the center caps went from black to blue and matched my paint....lol.

Maybe someday I might go back to the SS's, but I'd rather find an old set and have them chromed,... the newer ones have a little different look and the centers seem to not even get any chrome on them.

At the station in my town where I can get 110 Sunoco racing fuel right from the pump.

A little glimpse at the Dana 60, the Competition Engineering ladder bars, the Flowmaster 2.5 inch two chambered mufflers, and the wheelie bar brkts. hanging down.

Thanks,I'm really enjoying the story and pics!!

A few other angles..........

Back in 80s I decided to bring the car to Scuncio Chevrolet to show Bob his old drag car. I had never met him, but knew he was still at the dealership. He used to be the high performance manager of the place, and obviously a salesman. It was a place I had bought part from, and a place I even test drove an 80 Z28 when I was 18, it happened to be Maryann Scuncio's car that she was driving, the daughter of the owner.

Anyway, I went in, a 20 something year old kid, asked for him, and told him I had something outside to show him. Lets just say he was quite surprised, and loved that I had put the car back on the street. This was the first of two meetings I had with him.
