    Well I guess I gona start working on my Sprint. I `m starting on the parts search for interior stuff . Hopeing Fred on here is still reproducing seat covers for are cars. I swore after my orange 70 grabber that it was my last one but the bug bit me after finding this Sprint a few months ago. The 71 four dr is going on the back burner again cause of lack of decent doors available. oh well just wanted to say hi to all my freinds on here:Handshake.

    Well I got a drive train together for the Sprint. Its a 306 roller block with Edel RPM heads, airgap intake and a howards cam with flat top pistons. Trans is a TCI SS fighter 3500 conv and 3.80s with a mini spool. full Msd ign, a holley blue pump and a 750dbl With a 150 shot of nitrous. I`m trying to figure out a rad for it seen tons on ebay. I`m hopeing to get road worthy before fall. It should be a fun cruiser. just picked up a sweet driver condition frt bumper and a redline speedo for it in a junk yard yay!
