    Old timer, that a lot already know or seen one of my cars around.
    Working on racecars since the 60's, driving since 1982.
    I have 4 hot rods that many probably seen at a track near you!!

    1970 1/2 Rally Sport, 10" tire car
    1972 plain jane Camaro, getting a moly, tube chassis
    1989 Formula 350 WS-6 Sunday cruiser
    1994 Lumina Z-34, A/PM & T/S, maybe some quick 8 type stuff

    I also have a big blue triple TAG, that usually has a US Navy flag flying proudly!!
    I'm, always glad to share my air compressor or a tool when needed.
    Just don't touch my food!!:hsughlol:

    Al is the Crew Chief, and might drive a little next season.
    My tunnel ram is at his garage for some porting work he's doing.

    So is there a lot of track only guys here, or is it mostly daily drivers, week end cruising??

    welcome to the garage

    ive seen you around, i love the lumina since im partial to 1st gen W body's

    i know i wouldnt mind having your fiberglass doors that youve had for sale forever, for my buddy and I's twin engine cutty project. you just cant find that stuff for em.

    them buggers were pretty low drag back in the day....iirc the cutty was just a hair slipperier than the gp/lumina/regal

    the intake getting worked over...is it for a new powerplant or an upgrade?

    WOW, I am in shock!!!
    99% of the time nobody even knows what it is, I had no idea there was so many W-body fans??
    I'm always looking for team members to go racing, or help getting the car ready.
    Anyone interested in drag racing and wants to learn what it takes to run these kind of cars,
    reliable crew is always much appreciated!!
    A lot of guys think my car is ugly or not cool enough to bother with??
    They want to hang with F-bodies, mustangs, vettes etc.!!

    I need the tunnel ram ported because it was a last minute thrash to put the engine together,
    and it's a virgin, out of the box piece. Opened it, stuck it on and went racing.
    The ports are not even close, and I'm sure there is a few HP I'm giving away.
    Plus I did buy a dual stage 800 HP nitrous kit for next year, so I need all the air I can force through there!!

    I would prefer to sell the heads & intake and finish my other engine.
    I also have an old NHRA Pro-Stock engine I bought that was in Steve Schmidts car.
    I want to stroke that out so I can use less nitrous.

    The doors are for sale, but not really for sale.
    If something ever happens to my carbon fiber body, I still have all the fiberglass pieces.
    It would be a huge expense to get something new made.
    I'm sure the molds are either long gone, or buried, and they will want a fortune to make something for a Lumina now a days??
    If someone offers what I posted I will sell them, but I don't really try very hard either.


    I'm on just about every car/racing forum. I was retired for 3 years, and got bored.
    I always use the same name, so if I pissed anyone off, that's ME!!


    This was me testing a small nitrous kit at Byron recently.
