68 Freebird Updates
 

Here's some updates to project "Freebird". The front end pieces are carbon fiber. The stock hood may not be in the final product due to engine clearance.
Added a Ron Davis Intercooler, Devil's Own Alcohol/Water Injection, and had to upgrade the fuel system some more. The front/rear suspensions are powdercoated Candy Red over Silver.

Hope you like it. Enjoy. :D

The motor looks awesome! :bow:

Thanks Scott. You're always the first to see stuff. As a side note some unamed engine builder and magazine editor signed the car up for the HR Pump Gas Drags in September. We'll see...:eek:

Here's one other little picture. They used Pro Stock runners on the intake ports. This thing should really flow. The quality is flawless.

Looks killer... :thumbsup: that rear end sure is pretty... er - did I just say that?

Are you kidding me? That thing is over the top! I checked out Chris's drawing.
You have balls if you can pull off that design. :thumbsup:

You mean Drag Week? PGD's are in May I think.

It must be Drag Week. I just had gotten a phone call saying I am signed up. :omg:

Looking good Bruce, you look like your moving fast in the parts department. And that engine looks killer. BTW: Nice colour as well :thumbsup:

Hey Roger -
You're 'da man with Deliverance and all...so, I figured you might know where I could purchase some 1968 GTO Hideaway grilles. I don't need the guts, just the grilles. Tanx.

Thanks Ryan.
The actual color is very close to yours. I told you that yours is "the bomb". Here is a little clearer rendering Kris did.

Damn That looks good! :thumbsup:

i hate to say this but i had the exact same idea with the grill on my 68 firebird and started it. i guess we think alike. :willy:

Cool. So that makes you a graduate of Bellevue Mental Hospital too... LOL
