Looks awesome. Are those the wheels/tires that it will ride on?

Thanks for the pics. Odd as it may seem, this car has been an obsession of mine for a very long time and I've always viewed it as -the- car I would want to own. I'm really looking forward to this project.

It's a bit open right now. I want to keep it relatively stock looking on the interior/exterior. I'm having copies of the original wheels made in slightly larger diameter.

Twin turbo LS is the logical choice to move this much car around but I'm not sure if it's "right".

I considered doing an STS-V supercharged northstar. Also maybe a 500ci LS with dual 4bbl throttle bodies and a fabricated batwing air cleaner so at a glance it looked somewhat stock.

I think the best engine would be a Falconer V12 but it's been done and it's a little pricey

Is this the same intmd8 that is envolved with speed Inc? If so, I really look forward to what you end up doing. I still watch your tt lt1 video from maxton.

Yes and thanks. Maxton was a good time, good thing the ol LT1 held together so I had a ride home.

All those engines sound awesome. But to me nothing says classic caddy like a BB 502 twin carb. Just this monster of an engine and all you hear when you hit the gas is tires squealing and carbs sucking air.

That is a really sweet C10. Very nice color scheme.
That Caddy is going to be pretty neat. A twin turbo LS engine is a great choice for that beast!

A lot of changes and additions going on recently. We are just finishing some major overhauls on the web site with a few more still to come in the next week or two. We have wrapped up all of our informational videos on our Fast Track chassis and suspension systems that you can take a look at in our Roadster Shop Vendor Section We figured a video would be a bit more informative and entertaining than reading a bullet point list of features. hope everyone enjoys and finds them informative.

We are heading off to Indy for the Good Guys show in a few hours and I wanted to post a few pictures of the 57 that was just wrapped up.

Looks great, did you guys bring it to the Mundelein cruise tonight? I didn't have much time so just did a quick pass.
