Yep, my sig pic is outdated. I want to lower my orange car and put the new wheels on the C6 before snapping any more photos though. That way it won't get outdated so quickly again!
Now was Stielow's setup done by himself, or is it a John Meaney setup? I noticed he had a split intake, compared to the Meaney vette, but Mark's Malitude has a single intake, although I'll have to do some reading to remember, I dont remember if he did that off his own. I could have swore I saw the Malitude on the PT at the Birmingham stop, but never saw it parked, just moving. For some reason I doubt it though, seeing how he was driving the mule.

and do a 'bird. Its time you had another Pontiac.

Bradon, the Mule was mostly fabricated by subcontractors. Stielow gets the credit for the design and ideas, but alot of the heavier fab and body work is farmed out. Wheel 2 Wheel did the latest round of twin-turbo mods to that car.

The Malitude was at the first stop, but threw a lifter and had to be trailered away. W2W also did that turbo system. The mule was driven by the owner of both of those cars, his namey is Charley. He buys most of Mark's project cars when they are done.

Congrat's on the sale!
I can't wait to see what you got up your sleeve next!

It's sad to see something like that go, but at least you got your fun out of it before you let her go.


.....I may be putting something up for sale really soon as well

Man I sure never saw that coming. Congrats ..I guess. That's almost sad. I happy for you if you are. I loved that car!

I also just sold my Lil" Mercury recently. It is shipping to north Texas tomorrow sometime. I really don't have time for more than one performance toy. How do you do it?

I also just bought an 05 SBRC 5.3 3.73 gears w/locker so I'm sure it'll be modded soon, but the SS is getting most of the attention for a while.

Good luck to ya!

ahhhhhhhh I was thinkin it was him... then I looked at his pics on PHR and saw a much younger guy.

The owner of the mule was pretty good, fairly ingenious aswell. 1 tube of silicone = 1 left side mirror

The C6 got horrible traction for sure. The '69 gets nice traction though:

I saw the thread over on pt.com too. Tony...don't get a firebird. I LOVE pontiacs, but that nose is just horrible. Do a 69 convert. Don't worry about X55 codes or anything...just start with a solid car...do hide-away headlights, NICE paint, a Martz 4 link rear/C4 front with BIG brakes, a big cube LS2 (or small cube + turbos), some nice seats, a real cage, and a trick interior...custom dash/gauges/console (more custom than just a dash insert).

Oh yeah...the MOST important thing to get on this car...is a set of KINESIS WHEELS. SOOOOO bad *** and very few people have them.
