It's a Speedway Motors 27 Track T roadster kit.
With a Chevy strait six, webers or hilborn's. A finned aluminum box built around the hilborns W/a turbo setup. Mated to a T-5 manual out of an S-10. Front disk brakes W/replica Buick finned drum 'brake covers' Rear would be a GM 10 bolt (again out of an S-10 fitted with 3.73's and a T2R ( (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). And adapt the G-body aluminum drums to it. Build a simple interior, and some Hildebrandt wheels with repo cheater slicks on the back.... I just may sell my Comet so I can buy one of these!! (all of this spawned from simply looking through my fathers Speedway Motors catalog. They are the nations oldest speed shop you know (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |
