Thanks again guys for all the excitment this brings. I like the fact that its a post too. Makes the 55 look a little meaner and tougher. Especially with all the Bad Dude parts it's going to have.

Mark your right Post cars are the way to go. They are just a little different and that is what makes them so special.

ps That is why we did the 210 Post for my Dad

WOW !!!

It's been a fast 2 1/2 years since the last post.... So we are back on this Bad Dude.

Here's a few pics. Not much but its a start... Instead of the Kenne bell we went with a 4.5L Whipple to make this beast even more bad dude. We moved the motor/trans back 4-1/2" to make more room up front for the condesorn radiator and inner cooler and drive assembly. Were going to be using a Wegner set up with a 10 rib belt behind the front drive assembly. Everything is looking very promising according to Casey Wegner which he says is the first of its kind for a 4.5L on an LS.

We cut out the dash and inner structure to make room for the intake (which comes off the back of the blower) and twin CTS-V throttle bodies which will mount on each side of the fire wall just behind the inner fender wells to a hidden cold air/filter set-up

Thanks guys for the welcome back.....
I'll try and keep pics coming as things progress. Pretty excited to get back on it too. The customer and I talked over a few things last week and am really EXCITED about the things we are going to do this build.
