Re: Who's running the oldest set up in SS?
Just out of curiosity how many guys built their own car and still have it today, I remember Mike Pearson was 17 and I was 18 when we started putting his car together. We would work our day jobs and work till midnight at the shop. 6 days a week, no regrets would do it again

Re: Who's running the oldest set up in SS?
Ed, As we have discussed, I'm running dad's chevy2 wagon that was back halved around 1975. Mono springs, ladder bars, slider, Dana 60 with no coil overs. Springs have be re-arched once. Same roll bar with swing bar. Only change I made to bar was install swing bar on passenger side bar last November so I could carry my 83 yr old dad back down the track again. He was diagnosed last year with Alzheimer's. Hell, I'm still running the same crank, block, and forge-trued 2-ring dyked pistons from the early 80's. Not fast, but I'm having a grand time.

You'll have to check with Leon M, but I believe he's run the Corvette sense the late 60's
