I like it! It will be very fun to have a 21 year old kid in a "tricked out" rice rocket pull up beside you and give you one of those "my car is way cooler than your car looks" and be obliterated in tire smoke and see only your Nova's tail lights before he knows what hit him!! Not that I would ever advocate a street race mind you.....

I guess I still have a bit of a "competitive spirit" in me somewhere in me Pat.
Several years ago, a good friend of mine bought a 1969 Chevelle. It was beautiful - blue, black vinyl top sporting 396 badges, but had a nasty 502 and a rock crusher hooked up to 3.90 posi. To make a long story short, we had a Honda Civic with little wheels and an exhaust pipe big enough to hold a bowling ball pull up next to us and rev his little sewing machine up. He bolted out of a light while my buddy Dave was cool as a cucumber and caught him at the next light. Same thing and at the third light, his little buddy in the passenger seat made a rather rude remark about, "...old men and their weak a$$ muscle cars!" Dave smiled and when the light turned green he let that 502 loose. Needless to say, Dave got the last laugh and when these kids pulled up next to us again they were bug eyed and wanted to know, "What you running in that thing?" to which Dave replied - "Oh just just a kick a$$ ol' Chevy big block..."
We laughed our selves silly as they left the light slow and easy... I still smile just thinking about it!
Sounds great Charlie!!! Put the other fender on and go pick on the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:LOL:
there are plenty "Riceburners ) around here to play with :LOL::LOL:. I can tell you the 15.5 tires are not big enough. :eek:
need to bring it up here charlie so you and i can go play. :)
Hay you got your own Big Block..... Don't think I could afford that $6.00+ gas for an 8 hr drive.
i know what you mean charlie. but it sure would be fun to go out hunting ricers together.
Took it for a ride down the driveway( my drive is a quarter mile ) today. This thing should not be on the street.(WELL!!!!) it will be.hahaha
