1970 twin turbo pro tour build

Here are some pics of my current project

Welcome, Alex. Can you give us some more details? I like what you've shown so far!

Definitely want to see more

How are you going to run the ac lines with the turbo set up.

Slightly jealous of the turbo set up... Slightly.

Good work!

Welcome Alex! It looks like a nice build you have going on here.
I agree WSSix we need more...

Definitely nice work. Keep the pics coming...:bigun2:

The car will be a bit european in the styling, nothing over the top, the door handles relate to the front bumpers I think, I took 1/2 inch out of the front bumpers to make them "sharper". The door handles are from a 1967 Jaguar XKE.
The hood started as a flat VFN piece that I modified using fiberglass sheet and epoxy resin to make the recessed ducts. The front marker lights are now brake cooling ducts and the aluminum turn signals have yet to be machined but will be very similar to the Marquez pieces. The tail lights have been machined as you can see in the pics , the lenses are from a Ferrari 308. The fuel fill looks like a dry break, it actually started out as one but I converted it to a regular gas cap using a pop up cap and bung normally used on custom motorcycles. It sits flush when closed but if you push and twist on the black part it pops up so you can grip it and twist off. It will mount in the drivers side quarter panel. I covered the license plate recess on the tail panel and am planning on using a straight bumper with the exhaust coming out of the rear roll pan. Also not pictured is a very small sheet metal rear wing that looks great.
As for drivetrain, the engine is a bow tie block 383 with a mild cam but very good internals, the intake is a torker 2 with an edelbrock throttle body to square bore adapter , I had to use the torker because of its low profile and it being a single plane. This hood must stay flat, as a hump in it is absolutely not an option. The trans is a T56 magnum. Kore 3 Z06 front brakes, Detroit speed upper and lower control arms, I haven't gotten it yet but plan on using a speed tech torque arm rear suspension. It does have the DS deep tubs for a fat rear tire. Glad you guys like what you see, This car has been in my head for a long time

Nice.

I love the door handle idea, if I was body working mine I'd have done similar and added billet first gen handles or similar. The stock lift type suck.

Can't wait to see more of your billet pieces, are you doing this yourself?

Yes , I made most of the pieces myself and will also finish the front lights in a lathe, the billet rear I designed , but due to the fact that they are angled my friends machine shop did them

Did you fabricate the headers and the elbows to mount the headers? If not where did you get them?

The fabrication and execution on the car looks awesome.

Thanks,

David

Believe it or not the headers are up and forward ss from cx racing. 400 for the pair , a true 1/2 inch flange and pretty nice tig welds. Very happy for the money, the elbows and turbos are from them as well. A lot of people talk badly about those turbos because all the stuff is from China however I know quite a few people running them and they work well, the turbos I got for only 300 a piece

Looks good, the motor looks awesome!

Agree, hate the floppy second gen handles.

Really digging the rear bumper and all the other changes. :cool:

I had to cut out the Detroit speed tubs ,I ended up going with a 345 30 19 tire and they just weren't big enough , also had to stretch the quarters with these panels , formed them on an English wheel

I like this build. Thanks for sharing.

Alex what a awesome project. I love the everything your doing and I want a set of these.

Thanks Marty , I have looked to your build a lot in this process

nice job on the quarter stretch:welder:

I wish I could take credit for the stretch but my friend Bob Carol from Carols Custom metalworks in Howell NJ wheeled them up and welded them in

Sign me up for a set too.:G-Dub:

Your build reminds me of the Roadster Shops 1970 Camaro called "Rampage".You can find the car online.

You can also find it on here with a very nice build thread.
I love what your doing with this car. Excellent work!

Thanks , the rampage car is mean looking ,this car is going to be very subtle and influenced by 60's sports car look. I can see it in my head and you'll see it when it's done

you have some metal working skills! Looks great

Love the wheel choice and the offsets!

Car is looking awesome. What is your plan for the fuel filler and tank vent?
