[QUOTE=jpalmer;looking for a junker to build. I just liked the Malibu idea...just too much missing. (No dash, wrong year, no interior..)

It sounds like a S/ST or bracket car already. Best advice is to BUY a done stocker and save a ton of money, work, and time. It dosent have to be a killer car or a 67-68 Camaro. Id stay away from the higher classed cars in the beginning until you gain experience and see if you have the desire to begin a career of never ending spending $$$$.....lol. There are plenty for sale that will run 5-6 under and are legal. I would also suggest talking to some stocker racers at the opens, points races, etc. (they are very helpful.....some more than others) to gain some knowledge about how to go about running a class legal car and which combos are easier to make competitive than some of the others. Class racing is a different world than the .90 classes to compete in and requires a different attitude toward all of it. It can be very rewarding as in self satisfaction.
