Just a little update:

Here is a picture of the massive 2.00" stainless steel primaries.


It's got to have some shine!


Where that monster needs to be.


I would have more but I was having issues last night uploading so there is more to come. We spent most of out time this weekend modifing the rear end for the airbag suspension.

dude you're insane, what are your goals for your latest vehicle.

This is a friend's car that asked for some help in the design and fabrication process, mostly design. I guess I'm more of a consultant. This is a show car that will see some street time for the "Power Tour" and other crusies.

The goal, power wise is about 1000whp on pump gas and about 1500whp on race gas. If nothing else we want bragging rights on power claims. The owner has expressed that it MUST be complete by the 4th of July for it's first apperance.

I thought I would just give some updated pics of how this car is going. Some time was focused on the rigidity of the car for the torque that will be twisting the chassis. We also found it much more difficult to fit the massive turbos and other "things" under the hood so alot of design concideration was done and then was modeled to see how it would look and how much of what material would be used. Well that's enough typing....enjoy.






















So hopefully in a few days they will be fully welded up. Of coarse I'll put some pictures up of tthose bad boys when they are finished.

We'll I just thought if your interested in the car, it will be on the cover of Super Rod magazine. It will also have a 2 page write up on the car. I'm not sure what month but when I know I'll let all of you know. It's a good feeling knowing I helped out on a car that is making a magazine. Granted I haven't done alot but still gave my $0.02

More to come, just needs time
