I saw it today. Total project looks great.

How do you like the Kindig door handles? I'm thinking of doing the same style on my 67 Firebird.

here's a pic

Come on Speedtech lets see some pics and details

Texas Speed & Performance custom LS3 based engine, made 720 hp @ 7500 on their engine dyno. :RunninDog:

First pics of the paint- (pre cut and buff), along with our "keep yer hands off" guard dog, lol! We like to lay it down in several layers so when we wet sand and buff we have a lot of material to work with to achieve that end mirror finish.

The right 1/4 after buffing. That reflection is the outside door to our body work booth, and of course our big rig out back.

More coming soon!

Wow that is some clarity ... great job on the cut and buff!!

Ben, had a question, can you post some pics of your inner wheel wells on this 67? Sure would like to see a completed pic or progress pics, thanks!

720hp LS3 ?

Wow.

I'll be interested in the idle quality !

I'll get some pics of the fender wells up here soon.

Idle quality? What's that? ;) Surprisingly the car is incredibly streetable. Good luck trying that with an N/A small block, and this coming from a dedicated SBC guy. Sometimes I'd like to slap people that dog on LS engines. :smiley_smack:

Backing up a little, we'll turn some attention to strengthening the under side of Sicario. First step was to install our new ExtReme crossmember and frame connectors. Superior to other kits these completely weld into the floor and connect the braces for both the front and rear frames, plus they tie into an equally stout crossmember that ties the rockers together. This design not only controls body twist front to back but also strengthens the car side to side. This particular kit is for use with our Torque Arm rear suspension, incorporating a mount for the front TA pin bushing. They do require a little more work than average frame connectors to install, including removing and later replacing the seat mounts plus doing a little surgery to have access to the rear frame bracing structure. In all however, the extra work is definitely worth the additional end result in strengthening the car. Follow along with some pics of the install...
