AWD conversion...
A few years back acouple of guys in Poland built an AWD stingray that got turbocharged and used in drag racing. The thing was very fast
I've found links to it in this forum, and the SY/TY forums and noticed something.... nobody else has done it.
Is this right, was it a one-of-a-kind hot rod? Has anyone else attempted this since? Here's a link if you haven't seen it.

Haven't there been some pictures of various Bubbas' versions of AWD?
I think they usually involve the chassis from a 1952 International Carry-All and a 77 Corvette body.

From: Who says "Nothing is impossible" ? I've been doing nothing for years.
The guy from Poland who owns that 4 wheel drive Turbo Vette is a member here. He had a thread going for the whole or most of the buildup if I remember correctly.
He said he went with 4 wheel drive because the "tracks" were no good there and there would be no traction at all with 2 wheel drive. I believe they only have run down abandoned air strips to race on

Managed to find their photo gallery of the AWD build. Not exactly an instruction manual, but the pictures could go a long way to figuring out how to build the frame. I've been thinking about a good Vette-rod project since I had to sell my old one. If I could find a good donor vette (unfinished or basket-case) for less than $2,500, I wouldn't even shed a tear cutting on the frame to make it happen.
Anyway, here's the link...
