Finally progress...  please excuse the wiring mess, its all temporary so I can get all mechanical items squared away before The bodywork gets completed and paint work done. I took a quick drive with the blower installed. Nothing big just a quick strole hit about 3,500 and the car was accelerating like I had a rocket strapped to my ass. Can't wait to tune this beast and hit the power band... :yesnod:

http://youtu.be/kAqXbQwvuWA Doesn't sound like much with the header leak. I'll fix that when i take everything apart to paint it this fall. Definitely has the whine of power... :smilielol:

I'll get a better video this weekend when I'm testing out the alcohol Injection.  :cheers:

68pplcharger

Installed the Alcohol injection this past weekend.

Car at idle... Letting it warm up to check the oil temp sensor. The puddle underneath the fuel cell is from the rain leaking under the door, not gas ...lol

There's some work gone into that.

Thanks Steve , Quite a compliment coming from the forum fabricating master. Just finished running the blower cold air intake system from behind the grille this past weekend. No easy task... Engine bay is packed now with the 4" intake pipe, Blower, and Air Conditioning. Car will be real comfortable in the hot and Humid air of the Midwest. Next weekend I'll start on the Gear Vendor overdrive unit.

Thanks BobT
This car has been a lot of work, but it will be worth it. I've always wanted a Muscle car/Supercar. I think the term now is Protouring...

Thanks, it's been moving slower than I like but it's getting real close now. I'm hoping it will be finished in the spring of next year.

Gearvendor install complete, only has a 39 inch drive shaft now.

Aluminum drive shaft is installed. One more test drive in the car to make sure the overdrive works properly then the whole thing comes apart to finish the bodywork and paint.  :icon_smile_big:

Thanks tan top and WHITE AND RED 69...

Had to post a semi trick looking part of the trunk. Where the pearl white cage meets the plum crazy trunk. I love it when a tape job works right.
