    The Panda

    Well after a 10 year break from the track I finally decided build another decently quick car. Since I sold the HULK I stepped away from racing. I continued to build cars and enjoy them but nothing that had me itching to get back to the track. I coached Football, Baseball and basketball so time and money just wasn't there. About 2 years ago I took a 89 Gt (AKA The Panda) in on trade that a friend of mine street raced and did some 11.50 index stuff with. I parked it out in the barn and that where it sat until 2 months ago. I after staring at it and trying to decide what do with it ive decided to get back in the game. So Ive started putting the car on a major diet and get the ugly bastard looking good. The car is currently at NO SHOTS shop getting body work and fresh coat of Dodge Destroyer grey. If I knew how to post pics I would if someone can tell me how lol.

    Best of luck with the project! It gets harder with the little ones but glad you still want to build something after all those years.

    Worse case I keep the 331 in it for next season untill I have everything it need. The 331 runs good and I do have a couple power adders to choose from.
