Well, insanity has set in and I'm in the process of a fresh build.

I found a 27 T roadster fiberglass dragster body with running boards and full fenders and decided I had to have it.

C-4 corvette front suspension is waiting along with a Jaguar IRS rear

Motivation will be a 348 Chevy motor in front of a powerglide

Front wheels are 19x10's with 275-40-19's

Rears are 15x12's with 32" tall dirt track tires

Got a nice Oldsmobile tilt column to work with but still need some small parts.

With some help from my friends I'll build a nice low chassis in the 116" neighborhood.

Pictures may or may not be forthcoming

 
My thoughts exactly on the 348. The block has a crack in the water jacket, but a friend is going to come by the shop with a porta tig and some silicone bronze rod and tig it up tonight. It ran when pulled and I spent a whopping 500.00 for the complete engine and a cast iron powerglide, which I hope to sell off to a restorer as it is in really nice shape.
