New guy here from Northeastern Washington. Just found this site and decided to join. I got my '67 Fastback in 1982 at the ripe old age of 12 years old. Dad and I hauled it home in three truck/trailer loads for a father-son project. Finally got it ready for the road in 1986 just in time for some high school cruisin' with a decent 302 then got bit by the drag racing bug. Took it to the track a couple of seasons with that motor and ran a few high 12, low 13 second times. But, as it usually always goes, I needed to go faster. So in 1990 we built a full roller 13.5:1 nitroused Clevor Boss 302 for it and managed to run a best of 10.32 @ 127 with the tires breaking loose going into high gear and promptly got shut down by the track officials because it didn't have a cage in it. I couldn't bring myself to cut it up for a cage or more tire and about that time started my own family so the car got set aside until early last year. Now, since MY boys are at that age where they are really starting to get into cars, I figured it's time to get back into things again. Afterall, I GOTTA keep them interested in American muscle and away from the tuner Fast and Furious crowd. Anyway, the car is now in the process of a complete frame up rebuild but the days of drag racing it are pretty much giving way to the desire for a nasty twin turboed and nitroused 347 street/show car. I'm shooting for somewhere around 1000 horsepower on the nitrous. Of course, I'm sure it will have to hit the track a few times but for the most part it's just going to be a cruiser.
