I bought a running car and not much of the worked I liked so to please me I redid all but the paint. I always want to be the fastest, and I try to do what I can to reach that goal.The more you do the better you can hear what the car is trying to tell you.

Its way cheaper to buy one running fast than to make it fast. However you go we all look forward to seeing you at the races.

That's getting it done!
I went the " I got to have one of the favorite cars I owned from the '70's" with a '67 GT500. I'm topping $15K on just the motor. My home built from scratch car is going to be in $50K range.
And too many years to build, luckily I see light at the end of the tunnel.

Building in to S/SS sounds like fun but it is a can of worms if you are new to race car building. it's very easy to make a part purchase mistake that boots you out of class and difficult and expensive to get straight. Make a stage one decision: bracket or class? If it's bracket, build but for class buy.
