This is a car we have been working on for about 2 years now, it is a 1969 Corvette with a few mods. It has Ride Tech suspension, two compressors for quick tank fill, level pro controls for consistent ride height, and shockwave shocks on all four corners. Of course you will notice the Intro wheels, fronts 18"X8" rears 20"X16" those are 33X22 R20 Mickey Thompsons on the rear. We installed four wheel disc brakes and a 1" bore master cylinder from Wilwood engineering. The rear end is a narrowed Ford 9" from Strange Engineering with 31 spline axles and 4.41 gears. The engine is a Big Block Chevy bored and strokes to 468 cid with a Comp Cam hydraulic roller, Brodix Race Rite heads and a one off Hogans Sheet Metal intake.

Is that a porta-potty thing in the passenger seat or am I just looking at it wrong?

hate the look of the obnoxious rear tire/fender and I can only imagine the 2second degree burns with the top down in 110degree heat in Texas with the chrome seats.

Otherwise not bad.

I was wondering about that as well...my guess is that it is some sort of A/C vent?? Either that or Ron Jeremy sits there...

at first i thought the inserts were cool but you bring up a good point about the heat.

a couple of things i will bring up are the door pulls look like thay took them off my fridge. i have a new Lg double door. the other thing is if you build a car with power where are the seat belts for safety. i think a harness system would have been installed maybe even a newer vette wheel with an airbag??? all the other mods are very nice. but i bet this car is just a TRAILER QUEEN.....

I like it as well. Very unique. I'll bet he can't even fit a pack of cigarettes in the rear compartment though. I'm assuming there is a whole different rear axle set-up or else some hellafied offset T/A's.

Just saw the link to the details on the car (below the pics). Ford rearend.

Looks like DUB City built it.

Pro-street was cool like 20 years ago.
Those door pulls don't look like something off a refrigerator.....they came off the front door of a stove!
The bed pan in the passenger seat looks disgusting.
The speaker covers on the doors look like 3M fender vents off the shelf at Autozone....
The side pipes on top of the engine are tacky also.

A colossal waste of money.
Nice paint though.
