I would like to submit the idea of a Pro Street CBP but only if there is enough interest to support it. The CBP would simply be for a select amount of time to build any project, car or truck, that fits the mold of a Pro Street, street legal style vehicle. Any available idea would be allowed with any manner of powerplant, tubbed chassis and treaded wide rear tires.
I will leave this thread opened for a short time to see if there are enough builders here that would like to take part. If so then I will open up a new thread for the actual build. I have a few ideas myself and I know that there are still quite a few available sources for Pro Street cars and trucks. Let me know what you think.

Is Pro Street dead?

It might not be popular anymore, but I think most hot rodders still have a soft spot for pro-street. It is street to strip taken to the Nth degree and there's something cool about that. We still see quite a bit of it here on the forum. I do not have any pro-street builds planned, but I sure wish you luck on this CBP.

by far my most favorite builds all time
i would definatly be in on this IF the time allows
on a side note R2 NEEDS to re-issue the pro-street superbee
shoot, even with just a rolling chassis and engine at 10-15 dollars a pop they would sell like hot cakes
(if you allow me ill drop a few pics of my builds)

The short answer?... yes
It has gone to Pro-Mod, people want their cars to handle as good as they go in a straight line, a prostreet car usually has some H-U-G-E rubber out back.

I'd participate in this. We're building a 1:1 pro street 39 chevy at work and this would be a good excuse to build a model of it.

Thanks for the response so far. I will let this go for a few days and then make the determination. I'd like for this to be a popular build idea but I don't want to pursue it if there is only a couple of people interested. Folks need more to look at than just 2 or 3 builds.
