Looks great! I really like the rear fab work.

Is that a custom Torque arm?

Well I know its been a couple years since I started this thread but here we are again. I kind-of lost interest in the car because I got caught up in the diesel perfomance world but I have drug the car out of the barn and we are hardcore on it again. A few things have changed as far as the engine set goes. I sold all the nitrous related stuff and in the process of gathering up everything for a turbo set up. I bought a 106mm precision turbo with a billet wheel and got a blow through alky dominator carb. We are finishing the cage and then I will get the engine plates in and start on the process of building manifolds and all to get the hot side of the turbo **** built. Here are some of the car after I pulled it out and cleaned up some.

I have been able to get alittle more progress done to the terd. I got the block/powerglide mocked in and also got the anti-roll bar done and wheelie bar in the works. Also got the fuel cell in and got the cowl cut out and started on filling it in along with the ac/heater box hole. Next will be the front strut bars.

The rears are 15x10 with a 5" backspace. The fronts are 15x3.5 with a 2.25 backspace I believe. The wheels are made by Champion Wheels.

Been really busy on the car and finally getting some progress pics. Turbo manifolds in rough form and have the 106 mocked in getting ready to do the crossover pipe.











Here is my 106mm next to a 76mm
