    image.jpg image.jpg So... I've been spending a lot of money all winter in order to be cool. I picked up a 6-71 blower from a friend and am now doing all the research in order not to break anything. The motor has been built and I will be under driving it a bit in order to get the right amount of boost. But at the end of the day, I just think it's going to look so Bad Ass and can't wait to hit the streets in the spring and here that thing. :)

  9. So while looking for a pic of Richard Ruth with the TLB car for ya, I got tied up on his site. Wasn't it at the gas station the displacement was stated? Along with some other smart assery. Then I come back here and X is touching Michelle!

    Not certain on the Mike Kuhl thing, but that's where I would start looking.
    I think we both have our strengths, Jim is better than weird obscure stock chevy stuff, I am better on weird obscure speed equipment. He was on some weird of six cylinder chevy flywheel thread a while ago, I didn't even have a CLUE about what he was talking about.

    image.jpg image.jpg Well, finally got some time today to start the Awesomeness... Need to get a shorter Corvette water pump to get everything done. But at least I can pull up a chair and stare at it.

  28. That'll help fry the rear tires.
    The only thing I see wrong here, is it's not sitting in my shed.

  29. So are you gonna cut the hood or leave it off?
    Also, thank you for not putting Bel Air trim on that car.
