Building and Running the Street Stock
for the second time.

I guess nothing really turns out the way you start or plan but I am still having fun and it is keeping me busy. I started out and built the 79 Grand Prix Street Stock. I managed to keep most of my friends and my son busy as well building it in 2 weeks. We were having a great time at the few racs we were able to attend until....

As you all know by now Area51 went into the wall on Sept 18th and we were unable to revive her. So we did as she requested and used her parts to help another. We traded her heart (engine & trans) since they still worked, to a young man that had a 72 Pontiac Ventura and he needed a motor for his project street car. So the birth of Area 52 happened on October 18th...just 30 days after the fatal accident. So it is time to start again...we took the ribs from Area 51 (cage and seat) to use in Area 52 and we should be starting on the inside soon. Area 52 has a 350 Pontiac that is running but we will freshen it this winter before she gets on the track. Unfortunately Dad is not here to help right now and my best welder moved back to Canada, so I am practicing my welding and my son will be helping and he is turning into a pretty good welder.


Goodbye and thanks to Area 51
