Default New Build for my SS

I know I live in South Dakota, but thee are a lot of people from Iowa, Neb and Minn that know the car.

Going to do this one more time - I swear this will be the last one.

Last race weekend of the year was good and bad. Good some more 8's; bad a lot of broken parts. 50+MPH head wind took off the rear bumper and driver's side front fender. And to top it off, one of the Turbo's decided to snap its shaft. Didn't hurt the engine but 1 of the turbos is garbage (I have the 2nd 1 up for sale).

Coming hopefully this spring: from the present 408ci; to a 370ci. From twin T-67's to a single 106MM. Finally a total paint job. Leaning towards the cyber gray/08 Vette gray. A few more goodies but nothing dramatic. And yes in one of the pictures is a double fuel rail. We'll be running 16 injectors (8 1000cc; 8 1600cc ) The SS will be running E-98 next year. The car is not built for any one class - just built to run

All fabrication and entire build will be done by my sponsor.

Here's a couple of the pictures:

Very little support left for the fender to hold on to. I guess the wind got under the fender ripped the fender support nearest the door the bolt from under the front. The rear bumper was worse. Ripped the passenger side of cover right out of the bolts. Weird.

Naw. Just right. The turbo plays peek-a-boo with little kids, dogs and birds
