Default JBM's Car Coming Together

Been working on this one for some time now and getting close to life. JBM can share the details.

Thanks Mike. Three years ago I was trying for the cleanest build ever. Now I just want something that runs. Looking forward to some #s soon.

ain't it funny how you just stop caring about the details and just want to drive the darn thing!

That thing is looking great. Based on your combination in your sig and mikey's experience, that is gonna be one nasty car.

it doesn't help that you keep changing the direction of the build either

Default chameleon without the paint

Well JB, it is a thing of beauty. This car is a chameleon without the paint, This car has gone through so many transformations over the years, in every aspect. I have been anxiously waiting and participating in seeing this car make its maiden voyage down the track.
LETS GO!!!Wheels up Single Digits all the way!!.

PS Mike, lets see some pics from the back i would like to see the new posterior.

You have no clue. Sure, I've changed some things since this build started, but most of the changes were a result of an issue I had to address. The last motor was built poorly and had to be pulled. This was an opportunity to build something a little better. More cubes required that the top end be upgraded to get the most out of the combo. That, along with the car being stranded somewhere for wiring work for four months, cost me all of last year. The car has always been a solid roller nitrous car from the onset of the project.

So this would be your car that mikey has been talking to me about. I might have to make a trip from State college over there to check out this beast when she's good and fired up
