Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Very fast and can hookup if you are good on the throttle. Wide open is a waste of time until you are above 60 mph! My wive loves to do block long burn outs.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Very fast and hooks up pretty well if you are good with the throttle. Wide open is a waste of time below 60mph!

It's sitting on a S-10 frame with "EXTREME" ZQ8 factory lowered suspension, front and rear sway bars and quick ratio steering box. I'm running a 350 crate motor with a 700R4 transmission and Camaro rear with 3:42 gears and 15x8 Corvette rallys. Body mods include; top chopped 1-1/2", wing windows removed and converted to 1 piece glass, front bumper bolts were shaved, and the dash, firewall and rear roll pan were smoothed. It also has the stock 20 gallon S-10 fuel tank, power windows and tilt wheel. I plan on driving the wheels off it this summer and finsh the interior, install bed wood, etc. over the winter months.
Very nice piece.
