I looked over the car at Cordova. Eric did a great job. Turbo fab looked great too.

I guess what I meant was the entire car in this pic powder coated ? Rear 1/4's, gas door and all ? They put the whole car in the oven .

Looking forward to seeing this machine finished

I already told you,a little glass work on what once was the headlight doors the air will flow right in,plus its 18" off the surface of the track which should yield some slightly cooler air....there is some what of a method to my madness

Thanks guys! Can't wait to get it finished, I want to do some early testing down south to be ready for the 2015 season.

I'm putting a race pack in the car this year so we are rewiring the whole car. We= Brian at Racewire, lol. I stink at wiring.

Should fly since you got the car down to class race weight. 2015 should be a lot of fun!

LSX Outlaw radial. We run with NMCA, 4 races per year.

John is right should be a good turnout in 2015. I run smaller turbos than the other guys but can weigh less. I'll let you know how that idea worked out in spring, lol.

Come on out and race with us.

Font end is removable so it has to be attached to the turbo. Looking into options now.

That's not in the budget quite yet but hopefully at some point it will be. Building a 1700+ whp street/strip car is already exhausting enough. Much less maintaining a race program haha. I'll be following your results can't wait to see how it does.

Yes, it does consume A LOT of time and $ . Racing ,,,,,,,, worse than crack!!! But nothing can replace it. Im the most excited ever to get the car out. We've done so many changes, I have high hopes for 2015
