I will try to post some new pictures and also reviews as i start driving it.

Steve- Let me know when you are available to shoot it.

:hail: I can't wait hear your driving impressions and see more pics of that monster! :bow:

Hey Shaun -

Glad to hear that you have taken your vette back from Boyd.
Now you can enjoy it, instead of having the $ clock ticking at his shop.
Enjoy It !! (...and tell me how that tranny works.)

Bruce-
I have only driven a little in the car but I can tell one thing about the trans. It takes some getting use to. It is not real smooth at low rpm shifts due to the straight cut gears. You also hear it when cruising. Doesnt help that I have straight cut gears in the quick change also. Makes for some gear noise!!

Question did Boyd build the hood hinges?
The engine compartment is just beautiful. :cheering:

Yes, I belive Boyd built the actual hinges and then also used a stock vette hood stay to keep it open.

Shaun,
What show this summer do you plan on hitting?

TwinSting 01-22-2006 04:20 PM

I will be doing a lot of shows this year including many Goodguys events in Cali, Arizona, and Columbus. Also I will be at Hot August Nights in Reno.

Sales@Dutchboys 01-22-2006 05:21 PM

Cool,
I hope to have my car done for columbus.
Do you plan on having it in the pro area?

Sting,

I don't mean to offend you but what kind of price range does it to cost build something like that?


That is one amazing machine! :thumbsup: Would love to see more detailed pics.
