64, I've been there & bought the t-shirt. I had a '82 Chevy stepside that I took the Pro Street plunge with. It was cheaper than building a car this way, but not by much.
Long story short, I spent alot of money on something that wasn't able to be driven as much as I would have liked, got disillusioned & sold it to build a house. Don't get me wrong, I had fun with it, but it got way out of hand.
Being a reformed Pro Streeter, I am going to derive more fun by driving the ever livin' wheels off my '51 3600 as soon as it's in a driveable condition.
Just enjoy it as a clean driver.
