Awesome, Steve. Just awesome.

WOW!!

Congrats Steve

:thumbsup:
Congratulations Steve - looks great and sounds awesome. I was waiting for Dick to hop in and show us how she works!
Beautiful job.
:hail:

Looking good. Sounds loud.

We shot this on Saturday.. notice the my red "loaner car" in the background :D

Yea, I didn't see him getting in.. I was like "WTF!" when she started reving.. lol

I was gonna do it in the engine bay but then I remembered the Fly-by-wire.

Exhaust tomorrow, alignment next, dynamat, finish wiring, install Wilwood brakes, interior and tune.

Goal is for the Del Mar Good Guys show...

Looks great. That sounds like open headers. It is, isn't it? Also, is it baseline tuned? Or is that closer to final tune?

Holy crap that makes me all giddy inside like a little schoolgirl. :D

Sounds fantastic!

Speartech got it "in the ballpark". She will be chassis tuned to get the tune nailed.

Yep, open header. The new 3-inch exhaust goes on tomorrow.

CONGRATS!!! Looks and sounds GREAT!!:thumbsup:

That sick. :drool:

Are you getting any video of the car with the exhast on? What type mufflers is going in?

Looks and sounds great Steve. :thumbsup: I'm also interested in what type of exhaust you plan on running.

14x9 Magnaflow and 3-inch tube with an x-pipe. Yea, will grab some vid.

The exhaust will be thermal coated like the headers.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh :thumbsup:

That is Cool

Sweet Steve almost done can't wait to see more...:thumbsup:

:cheers: looks great Steve

Sounds very healthy. I want to hear it through the mufflers too.

Great job:thumbsup:

I can't wait to hear mine one day....... if they don't outlaw fossil fuels before I get it running.



We also need some interior pics and or videos too.:unibrow:

Sounds Great Steve! :thumbsup:

I just LOVE that car. hmmm wonder how dark wheels would look on my car!!!lol

Well done Steve!

The car is absolutely beautiful. It just looks soo stout. Straight to the point and very well detailed. good work. I look forward to seeing more

Very cool Steve, thanks for sharing!! We're not purests here at all but one thing I've always wondered about your car is why it has a round door mirror not the rectangle mirror usually found on '68's? Were the round mirrors used in early 68? Just curious and trying to learn...again bitchin car!!

Oh, and what are your plans for an e-brake?

Will they be routed out the side, or out back?

If you don't mind, give some specifics on how you plan to route it. I am also looking at a 3 link, but I haven't seen a rear exit exhaust on one yet.

Thanks,

Ty

Round were '67 I believe.. I'm not a purist, I just do what I like and the bowtie round mirror is almost iconic. I wan't all the exterior trim to be OEM stuff to give the factory look. The finished car will have the round mirror on both sides.

Straight back, very tight to the floor then up over the axle dumping by the rear quarters. three-inch all the way with a three-inch x pipe.

Way to go Steve!! Now we can't wait to see it on the road..

You are so close
 

I bet listening to it run makes your sticker peck out.

Awesome - Bad Penny lives up to her looks so far. Exhaust??!!!! You don't need that, perfectly streetable as is!!! LOL! I want to see vids posted of cruising and yamming on it!!! The wheel/tire and stance is dead on. I had a couple of the GMP guys huddled around the monitor playing the movie this morning. We thought - so THAT's what the 1968 Red Street Fighter would sound like....

Thanks for sharing,
John

lol.. now make a die cast of my car!! ;)

I hope the exhaust doesn't quiet it down too much. Oh, I like your avatar John.

Congrats Steve!...The car sounds great, and looks even better...what more can you ask for?:thumbsup:

:woot: :cheers:

Your car in my garage? :unibrow:

Hey Steve, are you going with no front bumpers on the car?

let me know when you get a shot with our hinges on it =) It will be appreciated.

Yea baby! weight reduction!! lol

You haven't seen that pic yet? There's a couple in the "projects" section thread on my car.

email me at [email protected] and I will shoot you a few. Everyone that sees them loves 'em. And as a bonus they work better than stock also.

Did you just call me baby? :unibrow:

Think "Kojak" and it will feel much less homoerotic... ;)

hahahahahahaha

Very cool Steve...it looks and sounds great!
I just finished reading the last 3 PHR's a friend from the US sent me.....and now I see a movie of it actually running....too cool!

Sure got me motivated to go back to work on my car....:thumbsup:
Martin

Wow...sounds like a pretty healthy cam,whatz the numbers?

Is your car at muffler shop?
