Can you elaborate more on this? What year range housings are they using?

Gear FX is the best, I really think it is a gear supplier issue. Most of the gearsets are loud. Once the Ford 9 inch went out of normal passenger car production the aftermarket had no reason to make good quality quite gear sets. In my opinion.

I'll start a build thread on "Crunchy" the 1955 Chevy. If the 8.8 set up in Lillard's is dead quite I'll do that.

I'll be following that one just like all the others. Thanks for the reply.

How many of the OEM panels are still on the car? The car is looking great and can't wait to see it in person!!!

stealth wide-body?

We are using The steel hood from Jackass with some mods to clear the LT5. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4905fb5825.jpg

Lookin good Charlie. But, I must ask. If you used Jackass's hood...what is Jackass going to use going forward?

I think Jackass was upgraded to a carbon fiber hood and fenders a while back.

Oh...ok. I had no idea.

Wondering ... with the work on the latch are you using the VW latch instead of OEM??? Looking great!

Jackass had a VW latch on it originally when the car was done the first time. I converted the hood back to use the stock latch

Who owns Jack Ass now anyway?

Love the direction this one is heading, too.

louder exhaust helps haha

Jackass is with my idiot friend Jason in Iowa. Along with Thrasher,Red Devil,Mayhem and the green pile.

Wow that's quite the responsibility being a care taker for those rides. I'm in Iowa does this "idiot friend Jason" have a shop that does amazing work?

They are his cars. Has no shop but alot of cars. Mostly survivor Musclecars but I suckered him into liking Stielow stuff.

The metal work on the hood is beautiful!

It would be awesome to hear your take on the evolution of each of those cars and what you're doing different on this one based on driving the others....


Jeff-

Probably didn't take much persuading. Great stuff!

People who can do that type of sheetmetal fabrication are my heroes. :king:

That looks great! Curious, did you leave the cowl vent in the rear to help release air from under the hood instead of using extractors? I'm guessing that would work even though there's a slight positive pressure at the cowl, the pressure under the hood from the air coming in the grill would be enough to offset that and more.
