I've had the hots to do a nostalgic H/SA (at the time) '57 Chevy powerglide 210 two door sedan 220 HP for years. Like John Barkley's. Just makes it into the 15 lb. class at the factory shipping weight. But I've got too many other projects going on and I'm running out of time.

Not a legal car, but a fun car. A Saturday night footbrake car that looks like it did back then. But, with a aluminum powerglide, a 12 bolt, good converter, .060" over 327 short block, 220 hp stuff on top so it looks right. Even a pair of long tube fenderwell headers. Should be able to run high 13's and just be a fun car.

I fantasize about it, like when I'm mowing the lawn.or doing my daily walk. Fun way to kill the time. Yes, I've got a good imagination.
