Is there such a thing as a low dollar resto mod? I am in the middle of one right now on my 1969 pig and I cringe every time I look at the parts cost alone?

Man, that thing is way out of my league.

Not

You mean under $5,000?

NO!

NO!

Similar to this in speed shops everywhere.
(Do “speed shops” still exist tho?)

$5k is what I tell my wife I am spending. Hopefully she doesn’t look up a H55F 5-speed and split transfer case plus everything else that snowballs after that!!

I think pigs are one of the hardest, not only do you spend a ton on parts ... many of them you just have to pull the trigger since you’re unlikely to see it again regardless of price.

Learned that the hard way on the race track with the Porsche. The first second off lap times came pretty cheap. The last thousandths of a second was real expensive.
When I was into drag racing, the saying was "If it don't go, chrome it."

This was dad’s. The Brodix heads are $25k, nevermind the rest of it. 893 HP 425ci “small block Chevy” on methanol, naturally aspirated.

He never got to run this version.

Sykopaths is pretty accurate

Some for sure but I think he was a pretty sharp guy. I never personally met him but I have friends that did and they all spoke pretty highly of him.

I'm not much of an instagram user. Sykopaths is the person that posted this; correct? Just curious.

 

[RUSH55]

Yeah, looks like it
