Questions about Stock

Angelo is absolutely correct. It takes a pile of money & time to build a car that is instantly competitive. I bought mine as a 6 cylinder driver 22 years ago after just missing buying a complete national record holder. Did a body off frame restoration on it & built it the way I wanted to. It was fun & a huge learning experience but if I could do it over again would not go that route, especially in todays market.
The end result was a very nice car that did OK competition wise but it did take a "couple" of years to arrive at that.
