24hrs of hauling and I'll be there to see it ...... Scott and the gang have been thrashing and now the ultimate challenge faces him LOL,,, me with a wrench in my hands LOL. I've been like a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,,,, my wife finally told me to get the Hell out of here and go see the car already,,,, LOL so I'm Kansas bound ...

I wanted to pause and thank a few people as this has been an insane thrash... Firstly Scott and his family and friends that have been unbelievable.... Also the gang over at Ride Tech, Forgeline, Baer, American Auto wire, Vintage Air, Optima Batteries, BFG, Heather and Pete from F-body warehouse, Prodigy customs and lastly but not the least of which to mention Brian Finch who as always has my back and has been quietly working in the background assisting Scott where ever possible. We have been bless to have a team of great people pull together on this thrash and I wanted to personally and publicly thank them all very much....

And now my latest favorite photo LOL.

Scotts subframes are designed to run the widest tires you can get under a first and second gen f-body up front :thumbsup:

Tom

olds87 10-23-2011 11:19 AM

What size tire in the front?

coolwelder62 10-23-2011 01:40 PM

The forgeline wheels are 18x10's W/295/30/18 BFG's.They are for Albert's other firebird.When the carbon fiber wheels are finished they will be 18x11's.With 31530/18 tires.

olds87 10-23-2011 03:42 PM

coolwelder62 10-23-2011 09:40 PM

Well.The car is up an running,Driving.This morning car would not start.Lucky we had Mike Norris here.He quickly found the problem,Wrong Cam Gear.I called a good Friend Dave Hosley from Superior Chevy in K.C.He opened up for us today and got us the right cam gear.While I drove to K.C. and Back Mike and Kevin got the motor all tore down and had the motor up and running with in a few hour's of our return W/the correct cam gear.

cencalc6 10-23-2011 09:57 PM

I need to get a 70' Formula to go along with my 98' T/A! Nice work so far

coolwelder62 10-28-2011 05:17 PM

Project update.Well Albert is all loaded up a headed to vegas.We were able to finish everything but the headliner.Could not find anyone local that could work with our time line so I guess we will look into that after SEMA.Albert & Kevin took the car out for about a 20 minute shake down.Everything worked will well.I hope the set up I put into the car will be close enough to work well at OPTIMA.Not bad for a 6 week total build.9weeks if you include the paint and body work.Albert was great to work with & super easy to please.We might have been able to finish sooner if the motor would have showed up all togather instead of in pieces and some those missing.But now I am a Blower Expert.:lol:Photo's to follow soon.

GregWeld 10-28-2011 05:23 PM

Can't wait to check it out!

Another SEMA THRASH complete! Seems to be so many every year!

Flash68 10-28-2011 07:48 PM

Wow what a quick build! Looking fwd to seeing this one.

And who needs a headliner? Optima is full of race cars now anyway. :D

Tom.A 10-28-2011 09:49 PM

Great job. Scott I was also wondering what brand or where you get your catch cans from?

radrambler 10-29-2011 10:14 AM

update pic issue
 
Guys sorry for the delay. I'm having trouble with getting on lateral from the widow spot I usually post from. I have the pics of it on pro-touring Facebook and hubgarage.I have no idea why I'm having this issue for two days. Sorry
the car looks Awesome. Scott's hub garage page is vintage racing and performance. If you car to look.
Hope to get them posted here soon.

Love the 'aggressive' sleeper look.

Def - I look mostly stock and let you know I have a bite, but very deceptive on HOW much bite I have.
