Well if you don't have a car to race you can always boast about how much money you have. This is not a financial forum btw. Pontiac race I believe is the introduction to this section.

How are you coming along on your two 64s.

Wasn’t one going to be a sort of a pro touring car?

While recording Nevermind they had to get Dave a 1500$ a day rental snare drum because he kept breaking them. Man hits the drums HARD.
It was a extra beefy one, bulletproof.

I believe it. Dave is also a good singer and guitarist as you know.

Thank you Jack for the questions.

The 64 GTO Convertible has the 455 engine installed in the body. Fuel injection parts for that engine are made (I posted pics on the board at one time) Nash Trans needs to go back in after the Engine removal in the fall for a engine tear down/inspection of the parts and a camshaft change. Engine has those TERRIBLE Edelbrock round heads that are not worth squat but are a lot easier to install on a engine. Will be fine for this street engine. 9" has been in the car for years and driveshaft has also been made for years.
Figured out the driveshaft hitting the body issue after identifying that the nash raises the back of the trans .350" (it was fine with the stock driveshaft).

The Old POS Ladder Bar 64 hardtop will have the drag race alston chassis and cage stuff cut out of it once I pick the chassis for the car. Rod Shop and the Art Morrison C-5 chassis for the 64-67 cars are at the top of the frame and suspension list. Not going to do much with the body, do a John Clegg 'Rat Rod" survivor paint scheme.
No $$$$$ paint jobs for me.

That car will have the Turbo charged engine.

But NO DRAG RACE parts in my plans. Maybe some high durability parts like Carrillo Rods, CP Pistons, Crower valvetrain, etc.
Dave B has had a second set of E-Heads for a year now and will be giving me a simple 340 cfm head that will work with the short deck Bob and Frank block and the Custom Moldex Crank for that boosted engine. Crower Steel Rods in that engine. Engine parts I have. Chassis stuff is what I am working on now.

They both sound really cool!

My grandfather bought a 64 GTO brand new.

Good luck with them.

I predict Lil Jack will go 4.70's with the little jet he has in it.

Dave is very successful as a lead man, really good. But strictly as a drummer he was one of the best rock drummers ever.
He is talented. Never could get into them though. Made me think about Kurt passing.
I like his acoustic version of Everlong. But to me, a lot of their music is "La-La" music. Predictable, not sung with the same emotion that Kurt did.
Foo Fighters first "concert" was in my hometown. Arcata CA. They were all driving down 101 to LA to start recording their first album. Along the way they wanted to play in front of a audience. Pulled over in this collage town of 15,000 and showed up at the "Jambalaya". A little dyk# bar, held 50 people or so.
Next day I heard people talking about "Nirvana" playing there. It was Dave Grohl, Pat Smear and co.

I really would like to see Jack get out and put up the numbers he is after. Lot of time and effort in his ride.
