    After you've logged some miles you'll get used to its quirks and driving it will be pure fun. My first rod was a 1915 C-Cab replica that I built on a T-bucket style chassis. It had a 327 with a mild cam and a 4-barrel carb. The blower was a dummy, just an empty case. It had a 3.55 posi rear end and a Turbo 350 with a Vega 11" torque converter. Once I got used to its handling, I could launch it straight and turn consistent 13.60s at the strip. It was a fun car.
