That car is a bad bitch! Even the exhaust tips do not bother me. You people are to damn picky... If it came down to it probably EVERYONE would take the car. I know I would!

Don't take this the wrong way, but I wanted to mention that this car is recognized by the NCCA, National Custom Car Association, and was given 4 first place awards. I'm quite proud of this achievement, so hope you guys can be too for me.

I like the car. These grumblings of discontent that you hear are all the dinosaurs that are seeing the meteor coming at them full tilt.

Your next project should be an 87 Buick Grand National. Put a Supra motor in that and go post pics of the finished car on turbobuick.com. Those guys' heads would explode. LOL.

Who said anything about stock. My car isnt stock. 96 Z28 w/ LS1. So how much of the work on this car did YOU actually do?

the difference between successful people and other people is that they do things that are smart...i'm fortunate to have some good successful friends to learn from..

MrT was smart to have a car built for him that will get him money when he is ready to sell it..


Me, on the other hand was dumb and just wanted to go very fast..i spent alot of money on my swap too..but i put it a nissan 240!!!!! yeah the car looks clean and is very fast...but i cant get **** for it when im ready to sell

How much he actually did should not take away from the finished project. I can personally attest that having someone else do the work for you can be much more aggravating than doing it yourself.


Rarely is the best leader the person that is the best at the given field. He is the one who surrounds himself with the best people.

First off, the car looks sick tons of detail...

Second, People will hate just for the simple fact that they wish they had something as nice or something at all to show off. I wouldn't worry about, use it for motivation.

****, you've gone this far, might as well kick it up a notch. Start throwing the 2JZ into everything. 1970 Challengers. Hemi Cudas. 1932 Fords. Model Ts...

Imagine a Model T that puts 900 rwhp to the ground. Super kick ***.

Car is top notch all the way. My tastes do not like the exhaust tips but that is all. If I had the same amount of money to build what I wanted, would it look exactly like that, no but if you like it then that is all that matters.

I thought everyone knows the "right way" to build a 1st gen is to throw a "small block" in it with a "mild cam" and a set of chrome American Racing TT2's.

Don't forget the chrome t-handle valve cover bolts.
