Lane, maybe he'll have to bring out his turbo Sunbird dime rocket ...

Besides, it looks like Mike Jeffries doesn't have any problem up on the hill. :

I`d love to see him take out a Cobra Jet,Drag Pack or COPO!

^ for sure.

Does he have any light weight wheels on the front yet?

I love this build and have been following from the beginning.

Alex my friend, I hope that you are doing well. Thanks for the offer but I would like to cordially decline. But hold that thought because there may be something big on the horizon!

Mark, as per your own definition of a "Dime Rocket", no front drives, no turbos.
The Sunbird was half a second under for free!

I know..I was just trying to make a point with Lane about altitude factors.

Hey, thanks to Bill Shurla, we've got another U/SA for the 1,000 category...but you've already done that.
Maybe we'll build it and hop it up for The Shootout next year...,..??

WOW, great thread Billy, it has inspired me building my 65 Impala. I can't afford to have people do the work, not too sure I would want to anyway. With my 68 Impala Ii built I taught myself how to weld and use a lathe and bridgeport. Learned how to degree a cam, body work & paint (only "race car : quality, "20 footer") ect, ect. I am finding building the 65 Impala is easier because of what i learned from the 68. Please keep it this thread up!
