Nostalgia pro stock advice

I forgot to mention a big help learning about a particular era would be to
collect old magazines and catalogs from your chosen date. Study old photos of cars
that you know are from the time frame.
If you know of a show where a old prostock is going to be make the trip and take lots of
pictures of even small details and talk with the owners of the cars. You will learn what you
need to know to build your car.
Sounds like a great project.
