I am originally from a GM Factory town, Anderson Indiana. Back then the track was called Sun Valley, in later years it simply became Anderson Speedway. High Bank quarter mile track. 

There was a cable TV show about Anderson, Driving Dirty. It was quite good. The track itself looked like a good place to race. 

I was over at Saugus Speedway in California in 1986 for the Southwest Tour, which was late models. They had the street stocks doubling as figure 8 cars, all they had to do were some adjustments and change tires.

Back on the horse. The existing transmission tunnel was too small fir the engine set back.

I made up some monstrosity tunnel that left little room for the seat. Since I have a ton of old NASCAR kits... why not? They are full of donor goodies.

So this is it so far. I need to trim out the front of the interior tub and putty up a couple voids.

And I did gut the dash.
