I got a new project in case I ever finish the Z31

[Chaparral2f]

So there I was, just finished posting ON3GO to finish one car instead of getting a new project. Felt really good to have a "Holier Than Thou" attitude. Kind of gives one a warm feeling. The next afternoon I'm at the Pete dealer getting some wervice done to my truck when what to my bloodshot eyes appears but an old friend who I haven't seen in a couple of years.

To make a long story even longer, he tells me that he has just pulled a 392 Hemi out of an old DeSoto that his father in law had given him. he said it was running when he drove it home, but the car was just a wreck. Since we were swapping our latest adventures I told him that my neighbor had been trying to get me to tow away a '72 Dodge dart swinger.(title and all!) Well we been talking about these developments for a couple of weeks now. I saw him on the road last monday at Pollard Flats truckstop we put away about a gallon of coffee decided to build the dart with the hemi. I always liked the old Factory experimental cars and now I'm gonna have one. at least part of one.

Here's what we want to do. Somebody please talk us out of it!

We are going to build a Nostalga car. Our intention is to move the rear wheel ahead 12 inches and the front ones about 8". Strip the interior and replace all the panels with 22guage aluminium. He just told me on the phone athis afternoon that the engine is going to the machine shop tomorrow to get blueprinted and balanced. When I get the time I'm going to go through the torque flite. We are scrounging for a 9" ford dif that a pal has in his barn. We would like to get a set of maybe 5:30 gears for it and have the whole thing stuck together in time to go racinnnnng in the spring. So it looks like I'll be going drag racing.

Oh yeah, Everyone just forget about what I said about doing one project at a time.
