Just went through all nine pages. Looks very nice and is coming along quickly. I am really surprised at all of the metal you had to replace. Good Luck with the build. Can't wait for more pics.:thumbsup:

Im betting if you could find a way to lower the cost they would sell pretty easy.

Yea thats what Chris said, I am going to Seriously look into the Sidewinder system, it has always been one of the better looking systems, so i will keep you updated, i need one anyway so if anyone eles is interested i may be able to get our machinist do do a small run??? perhaps less the add ons like the A/C compressor??? let me know.

Derek Miller 04-15-2010 08:07 PM

Okay Chris, it has been a few weeks since we have seen some updated pics from you. If I have to drive over there and take my own, I will. Hope everything is going good. Has Jason finished the wheel design yet, I am really excited to see it?

Come on over- it's been too long! The wheel is at the programmer. We are going with some parts from Anvil, Baer 14 inch rotors and some other cool parts

right now I am in aligning panels and bodywork- not too exciting- just time consuming:D

youthpastor 06-04-2010 03:51 PM

June update
 
Ok it's been awhile- but the project is moving right alone. It is on all 4 wheels for the first time in months- delivering it to the paint shop tomorrow!

some of the parts showing up from UPS are 6 piston 14" Baer brakes all the way around, EFI on a Victor Jr, A/C and and lots of surprises- I know I know - where's the pics- they are coming- Have a good weekend :D

Hi Chris,
I hardly ever find time to browse the Projects forum, but got a chance to check it out today. I know I'm like over a year late, but project looks great. Good luck at SEMA this year.

Here's an update- a few minor things before final blocking and paint. The engine had a carb swap- we are switching things up a bit with a Victor Jr and Accufab t-body- to keep things old-school looking
