As far as I know, these options were available. The mandrel bent rails were in the corner of his shop, rusting away.

I challenged Scott, as he under prices his work and most people push for "cheap" instead of "awesome". I told him to err on awesome. I want his best and gave him the freedom to push himself.

So far, he has not disappointed and it's been worth the drive.

Thanks John,I have a large price increase coming in Jan.!!!!!!

So, this is why, eh?


Custom motor mounts for the Dirty Dingo motor mounts that can be slid forward or back for weight transfer, based on the transmission mount?
Chromoly dropped steering arms to avoid any bump steer, that will take the forces of 2 12" wide tires?

Instead of the dual quad carbs, I decided on FAST 2.0 EZ EFI. It will control the MSD coils and timing just fine.

Summit sent me a mighty care package today. Will be fun to install it all.

Summit dropped off a care package for me yesterday. My son had a blast opening the boxes and taking pictures for me. He thinks he's getting the car. Scott also ordered all the ride tech stuff needed for the car. Fuel cell is the last item needed, we're probably going to need something custom. Have a care package going to him, as soon as Flaming River sends my steering intermediate shaft and lower u-joint for the rack that's already with Scott. I picked up a new stainless and powder coated column for it. Will use a Budnik wheel.

So, the FAST EFI looks like a thing of beauty. Sadly, I was going for looks and I think they nailed it. I also went for HP, and this has enough fuel for 1200hp. I also picked up new coils, as I like running the same thing across all vehicles, when I can. Again, also supports 1200+ HP.

Had a set back with the engine build. We got the wrong rods... so had to pop another 1K plus for the right ones...

Reciprocating assembly will now support 1500 HP. Heads are good for 1200.

Oh and the transmission is warrantied for 1800hp.

Sensing something wicked this way coming.

Wow going to be impressive numbers!

And we have a completed sub frame, waiting for the Corvette C7 arms, knuckles and spindles with a splined sway bar.... can't wait to see the IRS go on.

Very Nice, the man's an artist. Is it going to be powder coated or are you doing it when it come back?

I got the correct hammer size's from Greg Weld. Notice the adjustable trans mount. Now when you order a sub frame to fit and LS & T-56 6 speed and then change your mind to run a 4 cylinder & turbo 400 trans after the frame show's up.Your covered.!!!!!!!
