Thanks for the compliments! The 355 isn't running for **** right now, and based on my 84mph trap speeds, I'd say my horsepower is right at about the level of a good running Briggs & Stratton. Once I get the motor tuned and running properly, I'm expecting 105mph trap speeds, which should translate into 300-350hp.
I'm just about to turn 24.
I've got a ton of recent photos, and I'll be updating the website with them soon. The car still looks exactly the same though. I didn't do much to it over the summer because I was broke for most of it. The website hasn't been updated because I forgot to bring the pictures back to school with me, and I've been real busy with school.
In the spring my priority will be to get that thing running right. It's going to be a big task because in addition to the motor running like crap, the transmission is dieing and the open-legger rear needs to replaced with a posi unit.
Check back to the website in a couple weeks. I should have started updating by then.
