It's been a long time in the making so I can't wait to crank it up for the first time. I'll definitely post a video when the day comes.

 

Sounds like you are probably making 400hp and a grip of torque.

 

Thumbs up for the Ellis Juan

 

Very nice beads there, especially on the aluminum! Looking forward to future updates!

 

Amazing progress...can't wait to see the end result!

Should be a fun car. Are you developing a kit to sell to the rest of us when you're done ?

 

^ It would be fun to do it yourself but doubt there will be a kit. Lots of custom work and be prepare to go the extra mile(s).

 

I love this.

this is turning out to be a sick build. keep the pics coming man

 

gonna be a beast, cant wait to hear about final product

 

I've considered it but I'll have to see how much custom work is required. Maybe I'll put some feelers out once I finish the project to see how much interest I can get.
