Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

OK ,I am a bracket racer,don't send a hit man I know what site I'm on. I also have been racing since 1962 so I'm not new. The Dime Rocket thing sounds very interesting as I could in fact bracket race it also. I am a better fabricator than tuner and thats the problem. How realistic is it for someone who is not a tuning genius to attempt one of these? Assembling the car should not be a problem but figuring that last few hundreds may be beyond my capabilities.
I also was under the impression that if you was lucky enough to jump out there with a car running a second or so under NHRA would slap you real hard and rerate your combo. Am I correct or just missinformed?
Because they are plentiful are the G body wagons a decent choice, Olds,Pontiac and Buick included?
Thanks fellas ,this is fun and interesting reading
