I've got two fiberglass US body source front ends

My name is Greg and I am addicted to Y's.

Nice!

Here's an idea. It'll take care of most of my rust problems.

If it's in as good condition as Jake and similar in price, I'd gladly pay $1000 to have it shipped. I could probably turn around and sell it for a profit over here. Rust is no fun for me. I didn't know what to look for when I bought the truck. Now that I'm wiser, no more rusty vehicles for me. There's the rust you see, and there is as much or more that you don't see.

I prefer one that came with a Y but fabbing a bracket for a 6 cyl truck is not a big deal - I've already done it once. A Mercury M100 would be cool.

It has been a warm winter here but no open drag strip to practice at.

I know it would cost north of a grand to ship but I can keep an eye out for a good truck for you in Calif.  We got Jake for $300.

For the record Elwood Will be in the 9s this year, 8s someday soon.

Now,that ought to work Charlie. Have you been practicing Vic??

Charlie, get the weight to 2000 and a y with 550hp should do it. Drive it in northern Illinois for a winter and let the road salt do it's thing reducing the weight. And there is always nitrous to help out any deficiencies.

If I choose to do this, I will be ultimately separating the two.



Re your question about swapping bodies, if I do that, then I have another body gathering dust or rust. I don't think the current body is bad enough to scrap. It looks pretty darn good on the outside and it's remarkably solid in other problem areas so I'd like to use it.

Not trying to stiffle you Charlie, I know you are the "git er done" kind of guy. Just relating some past experience. I think the main idea is not to try to build a street car that is drag fast or the other way around. It's so much simpler to seperate the two. I never planned to be really quick with my Vicky, just competitive. Go for it! Chuck
