Roof rails and parachutes,

Thanks again for all the inout.

  I know like all forms of racing, racing on a budget is a bit of an oxymoron, but we are all on some sort of budget.

  I know we want to do a inline 6.  And that record I posted before looked like an obtainable one.

  Are you guys saying a 2nd gen camaro would not be a good choice?  I know thats what Hot Rod used to set several records.

  The car would have to be a 'classic' to fit into said class, and I figure that is one of the more aerodynamic choices.

  Basically we just want to go out and have fun.  IF we could set a record in the process that would be really cool.  Again, I thought that record would be obtainable, with a turbo.

I know a couple of brothers running a 1950 Buick 4 door sedan, not a good body for lsr but it was FREE and not a large outlay of cash to build it. They are having a lot of fun with it.

     

Yep not the best body, but you and they have done well with the car (lots of records) and I loved seeing that car even before I knew you.  Won't hold that against the car  . 

Still like JH said most likely you will put so much more into a car than the cost of the original body, unless maybe you are GH  , that a free body might cost you a lot down the road in what HP costs to make it go fast,
