Thanks John! Yeah, that was a fun car to do. I was tempted to do a Citation X-11 with a full C5 rolling chassis grafted in but it didn't fit within the contest constraints.

I probably went a little overboard with the spider thing though. LOL The shadow cast on the ground and the background wall allude to a spider also.

MAN! You and I think waaaaaay too much alike. I downloaded about 10 pics of an X-11 and a couple Citation concept cars. I think one of those would be wicked with an LS motor, 6-speed, etc.

I was going to do a really nice first gen Capri RS and had the idea in my head but my heart really wasn't into it to add even more to the already crazy schedule. I was also wanting to do an old school celica with the g-Machine treatment but like you said not in the criteria.

I really dig the yellow Hornet on here too - very sweet.

Here a few shot of my compact cavalier. the car should be at SEMA 09 adrenalineridesgarage.com

John- Be sure to jump on board for May's contest!

Kendall- Woohoo! What size meats on that thing? Boosted or non boosted motor?

No boost on this one. The cobalt will have twin on the rear.:wow: :wow:

rear will be 345x40x20 and 245x45x19 street only the auto cross will be 245x45x18 front 345x45x18 rear Hoosier we will use a slick for the Texas mile in OCT19,2009 hoping to run 200 mph before we driver it to SEMA.:cool: :cool:

Coooooool! Look forward to seeing that bad doggie done!

[QUOTE=406nova;205908]Here's mine for this month. A lot of what went into this ride was inspired by a project car I had for a while, an 83 Chevette. It was my college cruiser, and although it was a blistering 19 second ride in the 1/4, lowered with 17" wheels the 2000 lb car would shred corners like a go kart. I started gathering parts to eventually make a serious G machine but unfortunately had to bail. Ever since selling the car I've had old compact car withdrawl. In answer to this month's contest, If I were to try again with a small car what would I use?

Here's the Vette with 3" drop and 205-40-17's alla round...

Here are a pair of 335-30-18's behind the Vette...

I did a drawing of the Vette a while back and was going to revise it a bit but decided to find something older than a smog ladened ride. One of the cars I stumbled across while dong research was the 1968 Buick/Opel Kadett. What a fantastic little car! I wanted my cheVette to be an all around killer and this car is no different. Front suspension is convereted to Mustang II with coil overs and all the handling goodies sporting 215-40-17' on 17x7 wheels. The back has been tubbed and narrowed with a 9" and 3-link to fit fat-n-massive 335-35-18's on 18x12" wheels. I thought it best to stick with "smaller" 12" brakes, knowing that this small a car doesn't need brake overkill to perform well. This also allows drag light weight 15" wheels to house the little skinnies and the 325-50-15 DOT drag tires.
