Default 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.

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...

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

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.

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

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.
