    does that mean you are taking the hood off to make room for the blower?
     
  15. Wouldn't THAT be nice? I told the owner to put an X with a question mark on the side glass.
     
  16. not a big tri-5 guy but X marks the spot and I kinda like that one...how much of a bad boy motor?
     
  17. Yup, better than what GM did to the old Project X! And folks wonder why the company can't "get it"?

    I miss Project X

    We all know that cars can fight you during a build if they are not happy with the way its going, I wonder how long it took the GM engineers to beat her into submission........
     
  19. The customer supplied the motor. I just know it's a small block built on a Dart block with ported "humps" and a roller cam. I guess I'll be in a better position to answer you in a few days, after a testicle pass down Clybourn (a long street that parallels the airport a 1/2 block from my shop):D. It's got a Richmond 5-gear in it

    I'd pretend to loose the keys to the garage, only to find them every night at cruising time.

  28. Well, all things considered, I don't hate it. Given some of the styles(?) of today, it could've been a LOT worse. Decent stance, big power, manual trans, and the mesh grill? I'd drive it.... (then I'd put an "axle" under the front, SS Cragars, lose the front bumper, and install cheater slicks:D:D)

    That's a nice car Groucho. Picking an era from the Project X series and sticking with it is the way to go with a nice car like this. Pure and simple makes a loud statement. hope he appreciates what he has.
    Thanks.
