  I really want to build a Bonneville car and I'm thinking of a Dodge Shadow
with a blown 340cid in it. I read all the time about the traction
difficulties on the salt so I want to copy a funny car from the early
sixties-it was a 64 Barracuda or Valiant that had the driver sitting in the
trunk with his head sticking out where the rear window was but still below
the roof line.There is a picture of it in a funny car special edition
magazine . It seems to me that if I put my fat ass in the back seat  or even
the trunk of the Shadow and move the engine back substantially this will
help with this problem. I have a good 340 and a cheap Shadow to start with.
Any comments or suggestions?
