Old car back on the streets (video)

This is my first car, and I've had it for 17 years. It used to roam the streets of East KC everyday, but it's been in the barn for the past 10 years or so while I've been replacing everything with go-fast parts. I finally got it running and all cleaned up. Here's a little sneek peek so those of you in the Kansas City area know what to look out for.

Re: Old car back on the streets (video)

That's a sweet ride Speed Racer! Body looks straight as can be! I could NEVER run duals like that around here....it'd last an hour before both mufflers would be on the ground.

But after looking at your weld wheels, I may just get a set for mine.

Re: Old car back on the streets (video)

Thanks, man. Yeah, I hit a big pot hole one time and knocked off one side of the exhaust. I had to crawl under there in my new Tommy shirt and fix it on the side of the road. And a cop pulled up and told me to "move it along." What a douche-bag.

Anyway, those are Centerline Convo ET wheels. I've never seen some on another car, so do it!
