I dont know what your abilities are but I'd say box as much of the frame as you can. Shoot a pic of the rear suspension so I can see the condition. Being leaf spring I'd say add slappers and tune them so that you can slide two quarters between the pad and spring eye. DOT track tires, replace rubber, shift kit set on kill, adequate trans cooler, adequate fuel supply, adequate BRAKES!!! You can build a junker to run an 11 but don't plan on it making too many passes. Get it to hook and leave and make improvements from there. Get outta the hole then get down the track. Don't break it untill you hit 11.99. Know when to lift to save money. AND REMEMBER!!! Drag Cars are not remote control!! It takes more than desire to drive to the end!!
