Thanks, I will be posting the recessed roof and trunk spoiler detail this week -they are just being finished. Here are a few more pics as it moved out of my garage to a body shop in the area who smoothed the body and gave it the first coat of primer.

It's first coat of primer before going to ASP.

Chris did an awesome job on the renderings, this is going to one nice ride.

tones2SS 03-07-2010 03:31 PM

Looks good.
I'm keeping an eye out for this build. THANKS!!:thumbsup:

Now comes the fun part. The pictures going forward will highlight the work of the guys at All Speed as they create this beast per the renderings by Horton.

We are shooting for 1,500+ hp and 1,300+ tq at the rear wheels and by the looks of the Butler Performance IA II performance 400 block bored to 475 cu. in., Kauffman heads, Eagle crank that has been turned, Ross custom forged pistons with 8.5:1 compression ratio, they will hit the mark. This will run on pump gas. F&B Throttle Bodies made a custom fuel injected 6-Pack intake and we are milling a custom hat for use with the twin turbos that will highlight the throttle bodies. Much more on the engine to come, but I thought I would share a few pics now.

Also, ASP just finished the recessed roof. I like the way this turned out.

Thanks again for all the good words on the build - we are have fun now!

Here are some pics of the Butler Performance Block

Take a look at the size of the Butler mains as compared to a standard Chevy 4-Bolt

Looking good really like the roof. Also what kind of numbers do you think the six barrell will get you??

waynieZ 03-08-2010 02:08 PM

Awesome project I love it. Awesome rendering Kris. The roof and spoiler are my two favorite parts. Those will be some fun power numbers.
