That was pretty much standard fare back in the 70's.I had the article of Grumpy Jenkin's 70 camaro prostocker from the 1970 issue of Hot Rod,and it mentions how the car was plumbed with"Neoprine" hose,as if this was some kind of state of the art feature at the time.The trick record holding prostock fuel system consisted of some 5/8" metal home heating tubes soldered into the top of the tank with rubber hoses running to 2 Carter fuel pumps,the same kind you could buy for $9 at the local parts store at the time,and the engine compartment fuel lines were all done with hardware store grade brass fittings and rubber hose.This was state of the art back then.This could also be why the Grumps Monza burned to the ground so fast a few years later,but the fancy fuel systems we know today wouldnt be around for years to come.

The real tuth about most supercars was way too sugar coated.Most of these highly valued supercars had sledge hammer adjustments done to fit oversized tires,and exhaust systems,and you have to remember that these super valueable Motion supercars were about as pleasant to drive on the street every day as having a prostock race car with mufflers.That is what made them so valuable,the race car mystique.In reality,they were hard to drive tempermantal beasts that were broken down more then they were running,or at least that was the case of you actually drove yours the way they were intended to be driven.Most of them were either found burned alongside the road because their owners grew tired of their beastly ways,or were converted to full on race cars and evolved off the streets.Thats just how it was.The fact was that the Motion car wasnt anything that the average kid couldnt have built for half the price at the time in his back yard with hand tools.In reality, even the winningest of prostock cars from that era would be nothing more then a bunch of cobbled together parts that wouldnt pass saftey inspection at even the most backwoods track in rebel country today.Back then,they were record hold state of the art race cars.
