Junior stocker dime/dollar rocket

I like the builds here.The amount of detail shown here is the envy of most racers. This is showing the amount of effort that it takes to make the old cars we love well again. Gone are the days of taking the car that you drive or found out behind you neighbor's garage, finding or making the parts to make it you race car. I know how much it costs to make a race car fast having spent a lot of time and money trying to make a Ford fast. I have been told by friends that I hold in high esteem that I am crazy for thinking of this project. Last summer I bought a 1957 210 2 dr that is a nice driver and thought how cool would it be to make a modern junior stocker. After checking the NHRA guide it looked like it would make a N/S and they are allowing a 4 speed. And no roll bar. I know that there is going to be a few parts that are going to cost but by spending time and a lot of effort trying to find parts not for list price that is going to be trick. I started looking for big parts and got lucky and found a broken Jerico and a used 283 stocker motor only 1300 miles away. Nothing I can't fix. And the journey begins. It won't be a perfect show car but it should make a unique race car. Pictures to follow.
