im not sure if im much of a kid anymore, but anyway, im grant.
ive been involved with cars/motorsport since i was 16, went to college for automotive management
and have been in the industry since 2007.
my real passion is pavement circle track racing. it all started when my buddy bought a g body cutlass and decided to race it, we didnt know a damn thing about how to set up a car except from what his dad taught us. stagger? uhh what?? since then ive been involved with a few late model teams as well as a modified team with my boss, 68-72 a body clip modified. ruined a guys 16 year chamionship streak two years ago, we had fun lol.
last summer i inherited a 1967 pontiac tempest, it was my moms nieces grandmothers. the car had been sitting in her garage for 10 years, and thought it was a shame that it just sat there. the car is basically all original, no rust thru, original paint, interior, engine and trans. engine has been rebuilt, trans is now a th400 (her ex husband drag raced it in the 80s, had a dual quad 428 poncho at one time). 326 chops along with its comp 400s factory cam, headers, and 2.5 flowmasters.
the game plan for this little gem, is to use the BMR system. using second gen f body spindles, sweet 12:1 steering gear, howe front calipers, metric rear calipers, and drop in a 5.3 and 6L80. keep the paint original with its patina, and the inside stock with its bench seats.
i also own an 86 c10 pickup i bought when i was 16. in the distant future that will get some porterbuilt stuff, running wide five spindles, hubs, wilwood superlite calipers front and rear with a track9 and three link with torque arm out back. a nod to my circle track obsession.
thanks for reading, hopefully i can learn a few things on the 64-67 a body stuff from you guys. any tips or tricks you can teach me?
