Nice avatar Chris!
The car def doesn't have drag suspension!
I think with a few more passes & some dyno time it would have went faster...We'll see how it does with the twins, Blake does some badass work, can't wait to see it when he done with it.

Ya like that? The thin mountain air takes its toll on ya. Let's just hope Chad's adventure in force feed over-indulgence is better than the last one....ie: Liverpaste. Really don't want to listen to 3 years of bitchin' about the screw ups if ya know what I mean. 417 looks like they do good work. Can't wait to see it....might just have to dust off the purple turd, drag it to MO and loose the belt.

The car is deff badass!!! When chad brought the car to me last sunday he warned me that it was a total beater and boy was he right! It is so freakin cool as it sets and the painted warriors i personally thinks just set it off!
If you heard this car you would never think it runs remotely close to those times! Its so settle and quiet and that just adds to the cool factor!
I hope to see some screamin times outta this lil car after we get the twin kit built. This kit will also become for sale shortly after, and will be available as a bolt on kit.

I've always have had a soft spot for early Chevy II's and the black 67 is bad *** for sure..Here is a oldie but goodie of my 67 back in the early 90's..The car was a old Modified Production IHRA car that came off the east coast..Built a 355/powerglide out of old junk and ran 10.80's with it...

Are you guys just using the LS1 for mock up purposes to fab the turbo kit to? I know Chad pretty well and I remember him telling me that he was going to have a motor built that could take more boost. I am actually the guy that sold him the clutch that is going in this car. I am glad to see that the exo skel is going to be getting the abuse that it is was intended for. Good luck on the build, I know that thing is going to be a beast. I can't wait to see it at the track. I might have somthing that will give him a decent run.
