all out drag car

it is a 1973 triumph mk 2. it looks rough now but with some TLC it will be sweet. this car will not see the street at all. i plan on a SBF of some sort with a c4. it has a 9 inch ford rear with ladder bars. it has been took apart and sand blasted. the first thing will be paint.

When I was a teenager you would see a lot of tr6-tr8's on the road. It has been a long time since I have seen any of those tr models though

LoL Joecoupe let me get my stang straightened out and I may come knocking for that shell one day. I've always wanted to do a "Cobra-esque" style conversion w/one of those cars. I look forward to its build up.

I almost bought a TR-6 back up behind the track at Talladega about 15 years ago that was sitting out in some guy's yard. But I did'nt have the cash at the time. I know getting those dual carbs in synch was a PITA,which might be why you don't see anymore of them. Kind of like the first gen RX-7's.
