How many people are going to ooooh & aaaah over an obnoxiously lettered up, hillbilly suspensioned, wanna be drag-star that nobody ever saw run?

Probably as many people that oooh & aaaah over a primer colored car with an anemic small block and skinny little "girlie man" tires.....

In a similar tone as Marlins,I say leave this one as is...for now.
Maybe have some 1/4 panel vinyl graphics made up saying "CHEVY II TUFF",that can be applied & removed at area shows around here and see if anybody is drawn to that name at first.If that stimulates a few stories/pictures/super 8 movies showing up,then turn it up full bore to it's racing glory.
If not,take it back to the assembly line.

Ha! Put 'em up TommyBoy - let's have a race I have it on video of the ooohs & aaahs from last years SCR - 13.505 at 104+mph on those skinny whitewalls



Go back to stock with this thing, it's got paperwork, orig. driveline can be had, and it's a cool color - leave the 'redneck racer' look in the past where it belongs!!
