55 sweet run. Reminds me of my 56 in late 70s. There is nothing I like better than watching an old shoebox on the drag strip.:D

Woah! I just had a flash back from the 60's, LOL.... That's probably the last time I saw that live. I remember abusing my cars at the track. Sure was fun.

Nice, is it tubbed? springs relocated? I am getting ready to do some rear end work including ford 9", inboard springs and poss mini tubs. Would love for my car to launch hard. Seems like yours launches pretty well.

no tubs, not even mini tubs. springs relocated in the pockets and home made traction bars. 60 fts are still soft compared to coils spring guys. ive been 1.70 without spraying it off the line. going to go out again in a few weeks with the progressive and more spray.
