I can confirm that's not 2,000* coating.

I'm really curious what the tune looks like...betting it's "lean and mean"

Kurt will probably throw half of the engine in the trash and start over.

WTF — Only “half” the engine.... I’m beginning to wonder if he can even save the block!! LOL

The entire car is a SShow..........

I shoulda just bought a HOWE....

When I shake a mans hand - that means something - say what you’re going to do - and do what you said you were going to do. Everything goes well when that happens.

It does say "open at your own risk"

Yeesh this is just awful.
Reminds me of the Three Stooges "We always get it right the second time"

It most likely would be a 40lb steel shaft with a carbon fiber wrap....secret sauce! What a dick.

Blake Foster · #57 12-06-2018, 11:51 AM

Mark Williams makes the Finest drive shaft I have EVER seen. We use them Exclusively on the builds in the shop.

They are works of art almost too nice to put under a car. we use the Accubond 7075 3.5 or 4" and the one i put in my c10 was like 52" long 4" and could not have weighed 6 lbs (i am guessing) the moly yoke was just as heavy and get this the balance weight.............. was a 10-32 button head bolt!!!

They also make Carbon Fiber ( I have not seen one but can imagine how nice they are) but say that they would normally recommend the 7075. this is prostock quality stuff

I’m only spending 10% of what it cost to build TUX.... so that’s probably why I got such a quality build from the douche nozzle....

LOL

Lol. All good buddy. Speed tech will get the POS turned around.

I think the bottom line for me is who would build something in that condition for a great friend and guy, and with the dough to be a great ally. Mind blowing.

Sorry to see the "sauce" turned out even worse than imagined my friend!

Maybe when Blake and his guys are done with the Dirt Missile we can ship them the F!r'd-bird

Keep digging and sharing pics of the quality workmanship you paid for buddy... it'll make the light at the end of the tunnel even brighter when you arrive and can drive this thing!
