Project Splitter
 

Hey guys,

I wanted to introduce myself. I live in Glen Carbon, IL it's about 20 min outside St. Louis, MO. I've been drag racing for about 18 years now and I’m finally making the move over to going around corners.

About the build on the 70 Firebird, most of all the parts and details will be on V8TV, or blogs on V8TVshow.com. I've just completed the mini tubs, and now that I have wheels/tires mounted I can start building the rear end. It will be a factory leaf spring car, I know there's better available, but I want to keep the car legal for some local 1/8 mile racing.

Front:
Global West tubular uppers/lowers
1.25" sway bar
QA1 coil overs
Baer brakes
18X9.5" CCW Classics 5.25" bksp Toyo RA-1 275/35/18
15X3.5” American Racing TrakStars MT-26X6
Rear:
Cal-trac split leaf lowered 2" w/Cal-trac bars
Afco sliders
Moly fabricated 9"
Moser center/axles w/35 spline Detroit locker 3.90 gear
Watts link
QA1 shocks
Baer brakes
18X12" CCW Classics 4" bksp Toyo RA-1 335/30/18
15X10” American Racing TrakStars 3” bksp MT-325/50/15 DR

I'll be running a 541 inch Butler Performance Pontiac, and for drag racing I'll be adding some spray. Look forward to seeing you guys at events this year.

Thanks,
Brett Evans

Sounds like a cool car and the rendering looks killer. Keep us updated, Brett. :thumbsup:

Brett, glad you signed up and let us know more about the project. It's going to be great. :thumbsup:

I don't get up north much, but if there's some events there possibly. Saw your site, you have some killer cars, any particular class you run up there?

"Splitter" Lives!
 

Well, it's coming to life, anyway. Here's the page with some video on the car.
