Bodies on.

It's been a while and a lot of progress has been made so why not an update?!

Current state

Long time no update. TO say there is a lot going on with it is an understatement. If anyone would like to stop by, I'll be here most of the weekend. We are also in the process of launching a website for our shop that will have the build thread on it.

I'll be at the shop tonight after 6 if anyone wants to stop down. It's just south of downtown mke

I'll be around tonight if anyone wants to swing by.

I got the rear end mocked up and sitting at ride hieght. I test fit the wheels that came off the car the motor is from. I'm sold on the tires. Still up in the air about the wheels. 26x11 tires look real good and fit perfect

No worries. I'll be there a lot in the next few weeks. I forgot to shoot any pics. I'll post some tomorrow.

I'll be at the shop tonight for a bit starting to fit the motor in the frame.

It is going to be beyond tubbed. No flaires though. We just built a motor similar to this and it made 800+ on the dyno all motor. Kinda wanna keep it n/a.

Thanks a lot man. Not much new with the engine at this point. 400 cubic inch big block with a decent build. Gonna run it that way for now. Really focusing on the chassis right now. I had one guy initially do the cage and frame and did a really shitty job. My friend chris Taylor took a look at it and has some wild ideas so I'm going forward with him. In the end I ultimately want it to be a very streetable race car. Depending how well the car reacts, next winter could see a more serious engine build and ALOT more power

​

i had a slight freak out saturday morning and wasnt happy the direction i was taking.....so i dismantled the whole front end again and started over on the engine bay. In the 16 hours i put in this weekend i am 1000% happier with the results so far. it will be on the next level where i felt i was rushing and slacking before.

Two sparco seats, full carpet, back seats gone and all my electronics are in its place. Stock dash for now with digital dash in the stock location. Stock door cards.

ok, sometime has gone by since my last update. alot of changes had been made. here are a few pics

Tube Chassis is done, motor is in, just finished all the wiring. Finally got my hand made rear end. Hopefully will have it mounted this weekend. its getting close.

The car will wiegh probably less than 2000 when done

Earl, you can restate your same comment all you want. But when most people say a GM/GENERAL MOTORS "big block V8" Everyone goes, GMC/CHEVY. The pontiac route is rarely gone over. So yeah, I'll accept I was wrong. But just because he's done motors for 10 years, doesn't mean he's always right.

An anyone from the SBC/BBC area could have made the same mistake I did. Because that's what most GM SBC's look like.

thats why I chose this motor. Super rare. Never been done, torque out of the ass, and the downward facing exhaust was Perfect for this car.
