At the ripe old age of 17, a buddy and I were stoked with the idea of replacing the standard straight 6 in the 1957 Bel Air wagon we had acquired for drag racing purposes with a seriously warmed-over small block V8 we'd built over the winter.

About the time we had the old iron up on chains, we thought it would be really groovy to go with a straight front axle and a tilt-up fiberglass front end. Hey, it was a three-day weekend so we had plenty of time, right?

It went downhill from there...
