I think that is the real car in your avatar.

The guy had an old S-10 frame laying around and swapped the body from the Alero onto the frame. Custom suspension and rear axle done and kept it a 5x4.75 bolt pattern for the wheels which makes the car all GM.

The problem is the frame and body combo added a ton of weight. I forget the exact weight of the car, but the car was built for drag racing, and is slow as shit for the money spent.

My buddy has a low 8 second Mopar powered dragster, and including the price of the car, he has just over $30,000 in it
