Default New X275 Build

We are in the process of building a new car for X275 that will have a ProCharged LS motor. Hopefully we can have the car ready for the ducks race in October but its going to be a long shot. First I want to thank everyone that is helping and having a part of this build. I couldn't do it without these great folks.

Bob and Jay from NRC are building a great chassis.
Dave W from ProCharger for the blower and intercooler.
Bob from All Pro is taking care of the heads and intake.
Kevin from Blanks Performance is taking care of the motor.
Jeff Prock from Applied Nitrous for helping with anything I can think of.
RaceCraft for building us some great suspension parts and rear end.
Tommy from Mac Fab for some awesome looking beadlocks.

Here are a few pictures of the progress from NRC so far. Maybe Bob or Jay can give some more pictures but these are all I have saved right now.

It looks great. NRC builds nice stuff. I saw some pictures on the bullet and I'm sure it will run well. 275 should be really good next year with everyone now building cars for the class. Best of luck with it and hope you make it to Ducks race.

Nice quality work. My Firehawk has a cage done by NRC, very impressed with the workmanship, just like these pictures show.

Should be a sweet ride! Keep the pics coming.
