'66 Pontiac Resto-Mod Update

[ccracin]

leaving my poor son in my car. That was at around 3pm. We got my rig (Dodge Diesel w/big enclosed trailer), stopped enroute to pick up a replacement 1 wire alternator, and got back to my car at around 9pm.

I'll have to talk to your son, that should cost yah!

No doubt whatsoever..... I really felt bad about him being stuck there. Though when we arrived at the car at 9pm with the truck and trailer, we initially told him we were late because we stopped at the cookout for dinner first, and they were saving a plate for him He didn't fall for it.

Great build. How does it handle as compared to modern 3 series BMW or corvette?

That's tough to answer. I've owned BMWs including an M-roadster and an M3. Clearly they are far more refined and better engineered. I've never owned a newer vette. I've been faster than some newer corvettes on the road course, autos, and speed stop but my guess is they've been pretty stock and I'm not. I'd guess my higher HP is helping to make up for chassis disadvantages. I also have a vert, which makes it even harder. My car is far larger, heavier, older, a (flexible) perimeter frame. I'm happy to even have a comparison made. It would be a lot to ask to really compare favorable to those cars.
