I am Back

[Beer]

Sorry guys, I got sidetracked with my 73 project the last two years, the body work fundage was a show stopper for a while, so I started dabbling with moddin a GM LS1 car we had that was running, that is done now (added heads cam headers and a two stage Dry/Wet Nitrous System to it), and I am looking forward to getting the body done on the 73 Charger this summer. Still hitting some shops for estimates. So far they been 10k -13k. Its a New Jersey car that been in the snow a while before I got it.

I will post my body progess as I did in my 402 stroker thread, and dashpad project.

Good to see you back Jim.
Hopefully we can hook up at a show or two this year.
Know what you mean about projects getting side tracked. My 71 is in the same spot and condition that you saw it in two years ago.

 Hey!

Welcome back Beer!!!

I was wondering what you've been up to 

[Beer]

Andy great looking Kids! They are getting big quick!

Brock I was wondering bout the chat room, I don't work nites any more, I am on days as a Capt now. I am in the Indian Ocean bringing my new Semi Submersible to the Gulf of Mexico (@ 7 Knots).

Doctor Pimp, let me know how that hood works out (you got that rear valance as well, how did that work out?), I am thinking the VFN bulge for my project (probably skip the RAM air).

WCG You had started it your site up a few years ago your doing the 3rd gen registry right?

Project photos, just the GM project, the Charger has not changed Yet

Here is the dashpad (did a thread on it)


Here is the Motor 318 into a 402 Stroker 414HP/466TQ at the flywheel (did a thread on it)


Here it is when I took it down NHChargers way on the trailer

Plans are Plum Crazy and a Bulge hood w/ ralley stripes (Flat Black)

Totally Stripped

  what is a semi submersible?..  does that mean your transporting it there or that your bailing furiously?... 

  "Brock I was wondering bout the chat room, I don't work nites any more, I am on days as a Capt now. I am in the Indian Ocean bringing my new Semi Submersible to the Gulf of Mexico (@ 7 Knots)."

Boy, you pegged that one. Bravo.

This is my Semi, the picture is dockside in Singapore, it is on four columns that rest on two pontoons w/ crossbracing. We are dynamically positioned with 8 thrusters (4500 hp each), we hover over the well we are drilling position reference systems like DGPS (highly accurate GPS's) and hydro-acoustics (beacons on the seabed). We can drill in 10000' of water up to 37,000' deep.

I have better pictures but the company firewall will not let me load em to my FTP site...



Here is a shot of what I got distracted with


99 Vette Convertible LS1, 224/228 @ 114 LSA  .58x lift Patriot Stage 2 Ported heads, LS6 intake, American Racing Long Tube headers, Dry and Wet Plate Nitrous System (Two Stage), NANO System, custom panel and EFI Live Tuning by me. 417 RWHP NA 525 RWHP +on Spray

Hi Jim,
I didn't end up getting that fiberglass hood.  I used the flat hood for now... someday I'll get a bulge hood

That Dorsey Helm rear valance worked like a charm!  It fit well and didn't requre any finishing.
Check out the cardomain link from my signature for some pics of how the car is now.
