You good sir do not mess around

This car is everything I hope to make mine eventually... but mine's gonna be a fully streetable version of it. Amazing work though!

For goofing off and for hill climb launches, this little guy should come in handy....get it?


Plumbing was a tight fit, so a little pie cutting was in order.





Brake ducts are a necessity.



I made a mold.


Then a hood:



Pretty cool shot up on the lift:



And there she is:




I still have work to do, but I was lucky enough to get things together for this weekend at the track. It was a good opportunity to do some shake down on the car. I'll try to get some photos of the exhaust I built, upgrades to the aero, cage additions, etc as I develop the car further over the season.

I'd also like to send a sincere thanks to Mike and Kyle at TRM Tuning. If it wasn't for those guys putting in a long day and fighting through problems with me on Friday, the car wouldn't have seen the track for another month+. They managed to help me squeeze over 440hp and 400+ ft lbs out of it despite all of the issues. If you can give these guys your business you should, because they care enough to hang out until 10 PM on a Friday tuning a car so the owner can go racing.

Here comes a little photo bomb update for you folks.

This thing is absolutely awesome. You planning to run this season as well? Those Hoosiers up front look menacing

[RoccoB517]

It's a labor of love, for sure. I'm eating Mac and Cheese all week so I can get some brake pads! :)

Nice

This build is sick

[RoccoB517]

I left out the best one.

Okay, so I got really busy with customers so my car sat for a while. I decided that I'm setting Sunday aside from now until the beginning of racing season to work on my own car so I can hopefully have it ready in time. First event is April 11-12, so the clock is ticking. Here are a few photos of the progress.


Finished the tubing up front with some gussets.






All painted up.





Test fitting wheels/Tires/Brakes. I have some Motorsport Hardware goodies to hold it all together.



All apart for a head gasket, ARP studs, all new tensioners, etc.



Freshened the block up. It is clean and perfectly flat.



I think it was slipping....



A little mock up of some brake ducts.



Thanks for looking. I'll try to keep the photos coming as I put the engine back in, do the body work/aero, and add the Vortech blower over the next few weeks.
