My new baby

Hey everyone, just got photos of my new project drag truck; '68 c20 with a new 357(.040 over) in. Forged pistons & crank, street/drag performance cam, Edelbrock performer Intake Manifold, Edelbrock performer heads, headers, Edelbrock 700cfm carb, TH350 & custom drive train) need to test & tune now and start doing body and suspension/tires.. Posi & line lock are going in when I get back from SD. What you think?

Hah, the previous owner had them on there. I never removed them, sounds nice though. At the moment I'm not going for looks.. Whats the point right. "IF" I go into the wall... well you know.

After I'm done with college (auto tech) I'll have more flow of cash to spiffy it up how I want. =)

Thanks for the welcoming guys!
