Here is the pic for Car66. Nice looking project what are the details on the plans?

[car66]

thanks for posting it for me

i plan on getting one of my 350's built up to run high RPMs and high HP, dual four barrel tunnel ram, custom headers, turbo 400 trans, solid mounted rearend, looking for a forklift rearend or a tractor rearend to use, change the front end out to a 5 lug set up, short bed bed sides hanging off of some framework, possibly move the rearend back about 6'', metallic blue paint, shaved door handles, tinted windows, fual tank and weights on the front. pretty much an old school look but built out of a new piece.

Megasaurus an Transaurus were the car eating machines Jerry built, An yea Jerry Strode is from Gaston OR.

You would be correct Jerry (my dad) is from Gaston, Oregon. I was a fun run while it lasted with the pullers and Megasaurus.

since i cant post pics because they are all too big :/ i thought i would repost this pic with a little more info. here goes.....
as of thursday, april 5th. this great piece of northwest pulling history has been sold. the new owner is gonna run the bandit name for a year or two and then get new body panels made up for it and campaign it under a new name that is yet to be figured out. it will end up with dual 454s once again. oh by the way, brandon, you must be psychic. because i bought it!!!!
