The Camaro looked good Travis, lots of potential left in that car for sure! It was great meeting your dad too, he seems like a really great guy.
Thanks for the ride in the Evo…that car is amazing! Made me remember why I wanted to build a turbo car instead of another Big Block.

Small update…
Had a few parts for awhile, but no time to install them. We were both free today, so we got the underdrive pulleys on, and the electric fan mounted. Got some parts to send to BL Coatings, and once the dedicated nitrous system is installed, I’ll wire it all up.

Yep. Not much more (if any) from the nose, but the door beams are still intact. Weight loss is at 115 lbs between the fiberglass hood and nose shit.

From the nose? Yeah that came out. At this point we’re probably just going to do the door beams, and passenger seat when it’s at the track.

$$$$
This car is going to go 10’s next season with a minimal investment. That’s the goal, and it’ll happen.
