Donor Car

You have probably all been wondering if this is going to be a "Fred Flinstone" car based on the fact that we never showed an engine or transmission. We didn't have one and that was the fall back plan until the 28th. We didn't have the money in the budget for all of the shoes that it would take for a 14 hour race and we weren't sure it that would fit the bill of tire and wheel expenses. So we we're looking for a reasonable donor car. Hopefully, with a V6, RWD, and above all cheap. On browsing craigslist I struck upon this S10. After calling him up at 11 am I headed out to go see the truck. About 90 minutes later, after driving, listening to it, and checking compression, it became the newest addition to our Frankenstein. That night with my dad driving and me playing "The Bandit" we got her home from North Prairie and tucked into the back yard. Before they become one, they are resting near to eachother getting acquainted.

I can't say enough good about it. It was everything we wanted 4.3L V6, 5 speed manual, and a stronger rear end. Fit into the hull of our 'vette this thing is going to scream.
