Default Building a race car? Document it here!

If you're working on a project, wether it be a full blown drag car, street/strip, or a sleeper, start a build thread here! Our members love watching other's progress, it helps people share ideas and can bring to light some new ways of doing things, save people time and money, and are generally just to watch as they progress/unfold.


If you're working on something, let's see it!

Do you want us to link to our build threads here or just take single posts and put as much as we can into them? It could get pretty jumbled with the latter.

I was just about to start a build thread...so this is perfect.

I'd like to see threads started and kept up to date. Doing it in one post, would be a mess.

Stuff like what Phil99vette did. That's a great thread with good documentation.

Start a thread, then link it here...then you'll keep a master list up top in the OP?

I would think to Start the Post in the DR section and Link it to this post and Make this one the Sticky.

Sounds cool! I plan on making a full blown 5.50 index/Super Pro car over the winter with the V6 body I have out in the yard.

Got a buddies 89' S-10 in the shop right now that should run pretty good with a little small block

This is a sticky

I'll leave this thread alone, I like the idea of putting a post up in here with a link to your build thread, and then I will just clean everything else out of here after a week or 2 other then the posts with a link to the build thread.

Keep them coming guys... I'm going to have to document all my photo's into a thread myself as well

That's fine, put it up anyway! People will still benefit from seeing what you have going on and how things are laid out and whatnot.

I don't want this to turn into a type deal, I see any **** like that being built I'm gonna yank it out of here, but if you're talking about the Nova, or anything else that's old school, it's good!

Hell I have a buddy that's building a BADASS sand rail for sand/mud drags, I'm contemplating putting that up on here.

It's nothing special, just a 120 inch wheelbase awd deal with a 844 ci Sonny's engine with about 2000 hp of nitrous on top of that running on alcohol

If you grabbed the links that we post and toss them into your post up top it would help consolidate and find everything easily...especially when this thread grows and grows

Final stage of my Stock Internal M6 build

Quite possibly the slowest moving build thread ever...
