What would you build? - Page 2

(G) A Rat Rod
Why? Because $6,000 wouldn't touch what I would want to build.

Mike Gray · 02-02-2016, 12:58 AM

I pick A.
Except for $6,000 I have only been able to finish the rear end, wheels tires and brakes.
I need 7x that to finish the car.

"D". How about you Bob ??

I'd give all my money to Mark Yacavone.........and Mike Graham. They could build something that goes like 3 seconds under with that kind of whopping budget.......

No pressure though.

1965 Chevy SS with a 409 cuin 2-4bbl Engine for Pure Stock !!
Buy a Lamar Walden Special !!

A, E, or H. Where A is concerned, my very first car was a '64 Chevelle 300 230ci 3spd, That year had a variety of engine options from 194, to 327. With a glide instead of my 3spd, that could be a build that could fit into $6k (especially with the original 230, remember Cliffords Research? That company had lots of stuff to make inline 6bangers scream)!!!! If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably go after a late-80's Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance. With Mopars involvement in the fwd classes being the best of all the BIG 3, they would've helped me make one of those cars very competitive and would've spared my bank account too!!!

Eric, thanks for the vote of confidence but at this point, I wouldn't cut up a 69 Camaro to go racing and none of my Camaros are for sale at any price(at this point).

(D) A car with a soft horsepower rating that should qualify anywhere.
(E) A car that fits a class that nobody runs.
(F) A car that has 6 other cars in the class in your division.
(G) None of the above.
(H) A car that has a soft index.

Sarcastic answer #1, Whatever Bob Shaw is building!
Sarcastic answer #2, I'd build 3 302 FFFords and give 2 to my friends!
Sarcastic answer #3, I'd wait for Hill to get the 86 Chevy Truck w/305 in the guide at about 190 HP and build one.

But seriously(yeah right), I think that I'd be going for D,E and H in equal amounts.
