Nice job Joe, she is coming along great. One question, is that a regulator on the firewall? If so, that is a NHRA no-no, just trying to help out. Goodluck -Jim

but thanks for the compliments

I love seeing smog era Pontiacs heavily modded, and muscle car era ones original. This GP is way cool.

The late 70's and early to mid 80's GP's make great drag cars!Nice work, keep us updated.
