Hi everyone. Im Justin and just joined the site. This is my 82 GT drag car ive been working on for the last 6 years....Yeah, I know. It should be running this year. Its not done yet and have already changed my plans. I wanna drive this thing on the street. Lots. I really like the look of the early 80's IMSA cars and wanna go that route. I already pulled the sheet metal wing off and replaced it with the stocker. Once its up and running my plans include swapping the drag wheels and tires for some gold BBS mesh wheels. I currently have a 15 x 12 wheel on back with lots of room left over so im thinking a 17x12 with a 335?

Other changes I will be making down the road are a trans swap ( powerglide currently) and a k member and a arm swap ( currently all drag stuff). bigger brakes (again, currently drag stuff)
