I'm also on the nz-hotrod.com forum, had a few cars over the years, and just getting back into it again.
Back in about 89/90 i built a mini-tubbed HT Kingswood with a hot 350, that was good for 12's on the 1/4.
Then i moved the smallblock into a T in the mid 90's which i used to drive 160km to the strip, run 11.0@125 (without NOS) or 12.0 at 120 at the nostalgias on crossplies!! and drive it home.
Moved to Aus, did up an XM coupe and got into the 4wd scene.
Moved back to NZ 5 years ago, started a business, huge mortgage etc and only just getting back intp the cars, with my project 27 which you can see in the builds section.
