well this one was a long time ago also it was back about 1979 or 1980 everybody was just switching from sticks to auto's well i kept getting beat by all these guy's with glides and said well it's time to join in so a friend of mine did trans work and said i will build one for you so he did it was a 727 chrysler trans for a amc engine well the first weekend didnt make it out of the water box blew the convertor so another new one the next weekend did the burn out everything seemed ok launched and about 400 to 500 hundred feet it started jerking like you was towing some one and they got slack in the chain
Well dummy me i stayed in it for a little longer and it got worse so when i lifted it locked up and spun around bounced up on 2 wheels and i closed my eyes felt all this rocking going on and opened my eyes and was sliding backwards i couldn't see a thing for all the smoke when it stopped i was looking back down the track the right way you talk about noodle legs i had them in a bad way but needless to say i didn't run auto's again for another couple of years . oh ya the car ran in the hi tens back then with a doug nash 5 speed in it .
