Default Sneak Peak (The Money Shot)

Just thought I would give a little sneak peak at what Stenod Racing has been up to since the sale of the Red Rocket.



So here is a very brief introduction to our new creation called the Money Shot!

This build started off with a Formula Firebird that will be converted to run in Outlaw Drag Radial. We have set to push the envelope in every way possible; not as a contender but as a record setter! The heartbeat will consist of GMPP first LSX Tall Deck block. I will make occasional updates as the build progresses.











Thanks!

Tom

That was a 2010 Camaro. The Camaro will probably not be out for a couple of years so we will have some fun with the Firebird for a while.

Well Jay, Look at the Speed Holes.... I am assuming that is not factory on the B pillar as well as A piller and T Top Area. Time to break out the hole saw!

car looks great Tom! Are you going to put the factory rear frame rails back in it or just do something like a backhalf from the LCA mounts back?

Can't wait to see it when its done!

Tom, if you need another rough concept sketch like I did for the Red Rocket for the Firebird....well, I know a guy

'93-'97 era 'bird right? I see the rubber grommet for the fuel line on the driver's-side fender well.
