1970 Formula project "Cochise"

[tazzz2_ca]

Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on in conjunction with Brian Finch & Scott Mock with the board.... The car represents my first plunge into the LS powered world, showcase my 18" Carbon Fiber 3pcs wheels and will showcase Carbon Fiber product offerings from both Carbon Kustoms and Anvil Auto in what I believe to be a subtle yet striking fashion...

Ben Hermance was kind enough to render my interpretation of the replacement to my earlier Green 70 Formula (Keylime twist project) and I'm very excited to release the results in the below rendering..
I (as well as Scott Mock) will be updating the thread with build info over the coming weeks and will be pushing for the build to be completed in time for the planned SEMA cross country tour this November...

Wow SEMA huh, I hope you guys are far along on the project or I see alot of sleepless nights ahead. By the way love the rendering but come on show us the real deal. Lets see what you are starting with, and also the details of the build??

[Ron in SoCal]

As usual Albert, you've been busy. I can only imagine how far along and beautiful this thing really is....

Oh, and

Sad to see you leave the world of nasty snarly carbed motors, but I understand.

Scott has been thrashing on the car for months and he will post some shots soon as his craftsmanship is awesome as always...

The car will sit on a full "Scott Mock" sub-frame and 4 link rear end with a 6 speed magnum transmission... The engine choice is currently in the air with a certain really well know engine that is currently being refreshed being strongly considered,,, and or there could just be a Lingenfelter power plant in the cars future.. A full Carbon front clip will be utilized and possible Carbon doors are being considered as well...

The objective will be to create a light weight "extremely user friendly street/show" car that has the nuts to run with the top of the pack on the road course....

Oh and not to worry,,,, I still have my old school Poncho power plants in quite a few of my builds,,, just trying something new too...

Ric, Ron, Sadly the only pic I have of the car is this one prior to Scott going to town.... What I can say is that Scott tells me it's darn near rust free as a shell (I'm sure he'll share some pic's real soon)...



The car was from Texas prior to me importing it to Canada and when I looked it over it seemed to be a "real nice" car so I wasn't to surprised when Scott confirmed his findings with me....

I will have some real good photo's this coming week of the sub frame,Rear suspension,Will be stepping up the work on the body this week also.Will be installing DSE mini tub'sSmoothing the firewall,and fixing some real small rust bubble's.Will also be rising the trans tunnel to fit the T56 trans.Albert want's the car to set super low but still be a Top Notch performer.We are going to tuck the 3"Exhaust up in the floor so the sub frame will be the lowest part on the under side.Let me say this Albert has been a real Peach to Work with.I am really hoping Albert enjoy's the car as much as I have enjoyed working on it and with Albert.Thank's Bud.
