Man, ~18 months ago when you told me all your big plans for the car, I thought you were out your damn mind!



18 months later, I see that I was obviously dead-on.










It's always comforting to know there's others out there just a little more crazy than you.


just a little though

Did you have to modify the conversion to allow for coilovers instead of the leaf spring? I am very close to going powerglide and have been thinking of doing solid axle also. I wont run classes just a street/grudge car anyway.

absolutely bodacious

love the rear setup, and the turbo looks like birds and little animals better stay away from the intake

the down pipe is huge and very well done

post up more details on your turbo system and engine build!

fantastic car

I'm assuming this is the same guy who traded some toys in on a CTS-V? Don't want to put any names out there.
