Finally, we have all 4 running, and doing well.
72 GSX now has mild 350 with TH 400, 2500 stall, 3:42 posi. Building a turbo set up for it.
86 GN has mild modifications, pump, chip, regulator, etc.
70 Skylark Post, 464, SP 400, 4:10 spool. Looking for 10's on pump gas, then add some spray. Spray in this case is nitrous and paint. Will be yellow with black GSX striping.
And the good ole 72 4 door driver for a backup.

Mark and Tyler,

Congrats on one hell of a stable. We should all be so lucky.

I don't think I'd paint that post car. It just screams toughness in flat black.

Thanks Joe.

Fred, we had the nose painted in the flat black and it looks really good, but need to either paint the rear of the car to match, or paint the entire car. We were going to paint it in our shop.
The race car will get new rear suspension components over the winter, and hit the scale to get the weight distributed correctly.

Bill, dog's name is Harley. The almost crippled black lab. Always be leary when someone says "free full blood black lab pup".

Most of you know that Tyler, at age 18, has the top three. Mine is the 4 door, only because Tyler didn't need it anymore.
The red car was provided by Mom and Dad as his first car, but we built it. The race car was built from parts we had, and money he got from selling parts. He just bought the GN, and now has his first bank loan.

Looks like just too much fun, as if that's possible...

I like that flat black post car too!
