2nd try? On the cheap friendly comp?

My son-in-law who is 23 and not a great mechanic just got out of his 4 year hitch with the 82nd airborne and moved back to town with my daughter. He also used to have a 68 Valiant 4 door 6 with a 3 spped manual he loved for his pizza delivery job back in high school. That car was wrecked and gone and he seems to be more into motorcycles now so we thought about doing a cafe racer together but I know more about cars. I still have a good 68 318 in the garage and that 65 (or maybe 64) in Lewistown has my mouth watering. Our problem if we did this would be the lack of drag strips in our area. The nearest one is over 200 miles and 2 mountain passes away just to run at 2500 feet. The point would really be to do something together so contest or not, drag times or not, we may do something. Heck maybe we will do a 70's Honda CB750 and beat you all LOL!
