Is it blue, Mr. Cahhh-tuh????

How do you get a car into SEMA?

I wish I had some donated parts... Lol, good luck with the car!! Think blue looks great!

If anyone wants to start developing parts for a 70 GTO, hit me up..


I think my next project will be a firebird, they have always looked great.. Either that or a 68-70 Charger.

In case you guys missed it... here's the sneak peak of the one off billet steering wheel that Jason at Billet Accessories Direct carved out on his CNC machine last week... it matches my Rushforth SuperSpoke wheels to a tee!!

Looks like things are progressing nicely!! It's going to be one bad ass car!!

Just a quick update on the status of the build... there's going to be a bunch happening in the next few months!

The goal is to have the car in paint next month and completed in late May... just in time for summer shows!
A lot of that is going to be dependent on how quickly we get all the parts of course... There's a lot of moving pieces to this build as I'm sure you can appreciate!

All the body panels that will be molded and made in carbon fiber are all pretty much finished and just have to be crated and shipped to Matt @ Anvil Auto early next week! The core support and radiator will also be shipping
to Jim at AutoRad!

So just 3 more months to see the car completed! Wahoo!! I can't tell you how excited I am to see this dream become reality!!! (c:]

The sad news is that the Year One Experience has been cancelled in Atlanta mid-May... we were planning on "unveiling" the car there... so we're seeking another large east coast venue to do so.

Cool Stuff: Working out the details to upgrade the current 390hp/400cid Poncho engine to 500+hp/500+ftlbs and finalizing the components for the suspension with the vendor... all while still trying very hard to remain budget minded!

I just can't thank all the vendors/sponsors and this community of great folks often enough!!!!

It's going to be an exciting year, summer and SEMA!!! (c:]

V/R,
Ty

Firming up the details on the suspension... any guesses?

Not quite... although I did talk with Blake and they have KILLER stuff! (pun intended)

Here's another pic...
