I’m surprised at the amount of responses about swapping an 03-04 Cobra motor into things. I’d swap one into a '93 Cobra. Also build a grill island next to my pool. ---

It is not quite as ‘easy’ of a recipie as one might think, and finding some parts and properly tuning for a Syclone is not an easy task either. I will probably do another Syclone someday, but I am doing a late 60’s early 70’s musclecar next, probably a Chevelle ---

Then how did you paint it? Bake the clay? Or just let it harden naturally? Or did you just paint it as is? Not a dumb question at all:) Yes, it’s clay. Starts as a wooden buck with foam sculpted to the general shape. Add about 1" of clay and start sculpting away. Once the clay is at the desired shape and the surface reflections is clean, a heavy automotive primer is sprayed on top of the clay (about 1/8" worth). From here it’s sand, prime, paint just like a car. The clay never dries as it is an oil based clay, and is therefore not baked. I have a ton of pics of the build up, I’ll see if I can find them and post up in the DIY forum:) Earlier, I mentioned putting this body over the Factory Five frame and LSX…but I think my new plan calls for an electric motor, somthing about that seems pretty intriguing. ---

i’d hire a research team of the best scientists and engineers to design a extremely powerful, zero emissions engine that could be placed into almost any platform out there. and I would rock the hell outa driving a Hummer H1 with big ass mud tires, a ridiculous lift kit and obnoxious paint, all while laughing cuz i wouldn’t need to ever buy gas again. Oh i’d sell the design to some poor ass nation in africa for shits and giggles. 🙂 ---

well I would have said “Datsun Z with LS1” then listed the extensive list I’ve put in my head, but aparently thats like half of nyspeeds dream build. And we just put a cam in one at NEP. so I’m going to say a ground up rail/buggy car with a generic four banger, lets say an ecotec SC with 5 speed, mounted in rear (or a honda B series for $$$ and ease of parts collecting). This would be a car that would still have ground clearance and suspension travel for off road, but would still be fun on the street due to the sheer light weight. Basically like giant go-kart, think arial atom with more suspension travel and ATV tires. Basically like a trail buggy but from scratch and a bit faster. Completely street legal. I saw the $10k buggy at Gander MTN with the snowmobile engine and 5 spd trans and the gears started turning about what would be the best way to build one. maybe someday.
