Someday I think you'll see things a bit different.

dude. i have a plan for my life. I work nights full time unloading trucks for a living, i take classes at the local technical school for computer hardware, and i am currently being trained in the heating and air condition business, AND i am building a race car not to mention pay my bills and pay my rent. i think thats quite something if you ask me. most guys my age are either out partying and getting drunk or getting stoned and being spoiled by their parnents. me i actually have goals that i have set and i work my *** off! and i'm not talking tough. im making a proposition to you to bring your *** down here to topeka so i can race you heads up and beat your *** on the drag strip! because you're obviously trying to prove a point.

It's nice to see you have a good work ethic.As far as beating me heads up you wouldn't have a very tough time doing that since I race a 6 cylinder gremlin that runs mid 13s.I don't think many people would be
impressed.My whole point is for you to learn some people skills.Remember racing is just a little diversion
from real life.

ya know man i do have people skills i do. but im not lookin to joke around and be teased about my car. i know they dont like the idea of it. but i do. and its cheap. AND FAST. i was looking for straight up answers about it and if it should just be a street/ strip car or a full drag car. but i couldnt get that. ya know i am sorry if i made you guys mad mad. i appologize but damn. show a little respect to me and i'll show respect to you. im just tired of being attacked on here. you guys are giving me a rep that isnt who i really am. its not cool.

Just make it a drag car and go have fun. Its hard to race on a computer, sounds like you have a car, headers on the way, and a engine being built so get it togeather and race.

im goin too! i am really really stoked about the car and i hope to have it all done by next april. my buddy has the car right now because hes installing the roll cage. its over at his dads shop, and its looking really really good. hopefully i can get ahold of a camera pretty soon and take some pictures of it so i can post them on here. but other than that yeah its a working progress. getting ready to save up a little bit of money for the aje cross member. and i also found some really awesome weld racing wheels in the jegs catalog that i am really digging. they're the weld aluma star 2.0 fronts that have the black anodized finish. BADASS. but other than that its getting there!

Not looking to bust your balls or anything, but throughout this thread you talk about how YOUR building this bad *** car.... Truth is its only a mustang with a damn chevy, anyone could do this... Im sure you will have fun with it.. but you claim your building this car, yet I read its at someones shop to have a cage put in.... Someone else is doing the motor... What the hell are you doing other than paying other people to do the work????


Hell anyone can build a car that way....


If you trully want to run your flap on here and earn the respect you think you should be getting from the get go... learn what the hell your doing, and do the work yourself... Most of us on here build our own cars from ground up...

You come on here asking for advice, yet you seem to have the answers for everything... instead of listening to what others on here are offering for advice, you typicly act like the kid you are and jump on everyones **** for making comments about putting a chevy on a ford...

As for your comment of old school hot rods... You couldnt even come close to understand what went into building one until you build one.. and I dont mean send it here or there to have stuff done for you...

Well. for your information. i dont NOT own a tig welder otherwise i would weld the roll cage myself! but then again i am not the greatest at tig welding and i am not about to weld it together with a MIG, and i want the cage to be as safe as possible so that is why i had it sent to my friends shop so he could weld it. also i want it to be certified. i am having the engine professionally built for me at a place in texas that builds race engines because i want the most power i can get since im on a budget ALSO BECAUSE I AM NOT A FREAKING WYOTECH GRAQDUATE! The things i am doing. well sir. i am WORKING FULL TIME 48 HOURS A WEEK WORKING NIGHTS FROM 10PM TO 7AM, so that i can have the privilege of being able to race on the weekends and because i cant build the engine or weld the roll cage because i dont have the time to do that! and because i want it to be as professional as possible! and as for old school hotrods. i know about that stuff buddy my grandpa is a hot rodder he grew up in the 50's and 60's building street rods and is all into that stuff and has even had a 32' 5 window coupe that he built and sold on the barret jackson collector car auction. if you dont think i know anything about street rods then i suggest you get on the barret-jacksons site and search for lot #1346 a red 32 ford 5 window coupe because that was my grandfathers.
