16X32.5 I think. They are the tires that will be on it when Dave learns to go fast. Once he gets used to driving a 7 second car, and gains some comfort level the little tires will go on it.

It will run Outlaw 10.5 races. I think there is some Columbus races that Dave can do by his house also. All his runs will be for fun!!

Is this car going to run a class or just run for fun? Either way its going to be a work of art. Something you dont always see in a "race car".

We are very excited too! Think how Dave must feel? Wonder if he's getting much sleep?

It is the standard Precision turbo 1800hp intercooler, the same one that was used on my engine. There is a newer Honeywell core that is smaller by a little that looks really promising if you are doing something now.

It will be finished by the last week in February. We will be showing the car with a few others at the Detroit Autorama in the first week of March.

Goodmorning guys.

Here is Denny preparing Dave's motor for install. He is one of the fabricators responsible for Dave's build


Someone requested a underneath shot






And, the beast soon receives its heart.
