Thanks Mike, It's gone through a couple transformations. Street car, Hot Rod Real Street Car, Lettered up Race car, and now glad to say back to Street Car. The top pic is the most recent(taken last month). The others show the variation of sponsor/crap stickers. The car is faster now on Pump gas than it was as a race car..pays to stay with one combo and keep working it..oh yeah the Procharger helps ;) Walt http://www.personal.kent.edu/~wbainey/CHEVELLE.htm
