Yeah, I remember that car. I also remember Linda Vaughn posing with it on the cover of Hot Rod magazine back in the early '80's...

I think so...LOL, I know she was wearing a red jumpsuit, and that definitely caught my teenage attention.

I have finally been able to get back to work on project "Olds School". I was delayed for 2015 due to the usual life stuff, but while I was sidelined, I collected all the junk needed for my project. I also got the combo ok'd by Mike Baker. My goal is to run it as a Pure Stocker at a couple of IHRA division 1 races in 2016.

I have built the rear (7.5" 4.10 gears) & trans (metric 200c), and will be freshening the motor this winter. I will do the paint and body work when it gets closer to spring.

Any cheap suspension tips. I believe, according to the rule book, I have to keep the front sway bar. Does it have to be connected? Any tips or info is greatly appreciated.

Dick Miller has all the trick stuff for your suspension.
Especially the Brace which attaches the upper and lower control arms.
An inexpensive upgrade; hardened bushings on the control arms.
The stock ones will break down racing.
Add Airbags.. They make a difference!
Keep the rear sway bar.
Otherwise you OTW ..

BTW what Class are you running in?

I too live in Middletown. glad to see the build back under way. I hope ihra has an event at capitol or Delmar this season, they seem to forget div1 is meant to be (northeast) div. I guess I will see you at mdir or Richmond dragway, good luck with the build!

FWIW been recommending Bullet Cams to anyone needing a proper IHRA Legal Pure Stocker Cam.

Contact John at Bullet.
He works with Mike Baker at IHR making sure we get the right product.

What are you planning to run as a rear tire?
