Muy badass man, hopefully one day I'll have one similar to it.

I paid somewhere around $170 a peice (I purchased two since I basically bought one and got one with free shipping as well as a $35 gift certificate) from NorthernTools. It's been great so far. I also spent about $100 in mounting hardware, as I mounted it directly infront of my garage door and I needed to anchor through my concrete driveway on one side (the other mounts in the yard) I tied it down with steel cable and turnbuckles and the sucker doesn't move.

After a long winter it came home from storage last week..

To celebrate I wetsanded/buffed the whole car.




I also decided I'm going back to the "correct" side and putting Pontiac power back in her, along with some brand new aluminum Edelbrock 72cc heads I scored for a deal of $1700 from a guy on eBay.

Depends how well you can drive. Since I've never seen you run I don't know what to expect

Even so though, the motor for this car won't be done until next year. I'll keep the Olds 455 in there this year. Great motor but I think I can make more power with a Pontiac

It should be cheaper like you said. Either way I hope we'll both have them done by next summer.
