Rear rims/tires are P295 Goodrich on 10" Weld Draglites—the most I could stuff up in there without getting into spring and wheel well relocation. They're fine for the street, but spun big time on the strip. (never budgeted for slicks)

Suspension is stock RT-level.

Haven't driven it in ten years.

Nice A-Body. What's stuffed under the hood?
My bro and his oldest son are building a Dart Swinger.

Thanks, The Block says 318 but it's pretty fast. I'd guess only like 325 HP but that's plenty for me. I know it has a Purple Cam in it. I'd love to see some Pics of the Swinger.

Here is my "fun car" at the Car Craft Summer Nationals. It's a 1972 Pontiac Luxury Lemans. 400cu in, TH400 tranny, Posi Rear, and power everything (windows, seats, etc...). It was ordered with every option except for the 455.

Not much of a hot rod guy, but I have had a thing for that car since I first saw "American Graffiti"

I think i am going to get started with an Iron 883...

Beautiful Lemans. It's one of my Must have cars for when I make it as a Rock Star

This is my work in progress. 1953 Chevy pickup cab on an s-10 frame, 350 Chevy motor with aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake & carb, Comp Cams Thumpr, bored .30" over and fully rebuilt, strapped to a TH400 w/2500 stall converter & shift kit. Should be fun once I get it finished.

I've had this car since 1990...it's a 1983 Datsun (not Nissan) 280ZX Turbo. Everything on it works. Right now it's up on jackstands while I pull the manifolds to fix a broken exhaust manifold stud and correct some fuel injector problems.

Nice looking Z car Pilgrim.

I always like those from before they went to the extended roof models.

Thanks kindly! Right now I'm finding out the downside of finally having to do a substantial teardown on a 30-year old car that hasn't required much engine work. Every hose and flexible part is self-destructing as I remove it, the exhaust system is pretty much frozen into one chunk of metal, and some bolts are beyond salvage. It's going to take time.

In the past I've done a clutch, steering rack and many other parts, but in 30 years I've never had to pull anything off the engine except starter and alternator. Now it's getting even.
