Default HPI Customs: Customer Cars and Random Projects

Thought I would put a couple pics up of some of the smaller projects that don't need a build thread, and some stuff that doesn't fit the "pro touring" theme 100%!

I will start with a super cool 1961 Buick Electra that we have been working on.

Quick stats: This car makes a camaro look like a Mini!
401 Nailhead
EZ EFI, hidden under stock air cleaner
MSD Ignition system
700R4 Conversion
Double adjustable shockwaves up front
Custom rear trailing arms and panhard
Rear air ride and ridetech shocks
Accuair air management
Upgraded sway bars
Custom built wilwood brake kit (no one has ANYthing for this platform..... if you ever want custom brakes on one of these, call me!!)
Schott Crossfire wheels
Nitto tires
HPI stainless exhaust system

The car runs like a champ now, for anyone wondering about EZ EFI for a cruiser or mild street machine, I give it a huge thumbs up




The car isn't aired right out in this pic, didn't want to set it in the gravel!

That is a really cool car!

Good idea starting a general thread. I would like to see everything you are working on.

Just finished putting multiport EFI on a 66 Vette 427 (all restored, rectangle port engine, show winner) and used the Holley HP efi system..... what a treat. That is a great EFI system.

This thing is POTENT now, and runs absolutely amazing. Oh and we added water/meth injection too.

Biggest thing was fitting it under the stock hood, as you know BBC single plane EFI manifolds are not a nice thing to fit under the hood, so we took a shot in the dark and used a performer rpm dual plane and machined it down and put injector bungs in it........ I know I know, but it actually works great!!!!
