Swapping brakes, installing Coan built RMVB braked' TH400, front suspension, brakes, new ring and pinion, exhaust, 8 point and lift off hood.


This is at a friend's shop down in Toledo. Hasn't opened yet, we are still waiting on the lift and other random things...
 
I started selling things to offset the cost of building an engine for this all while trying to get the chassis and rest of the drivetrain up to snuff.

My ram air III engine is sold, sold the nitrous kit off the car, selling my 79 TA, selling one of my bikes, etc. I am trying to do as much as possible without spending out of pocket.

Thanks a lot man! As things progess I will update the thread with pics.

Looking good Trig, will it be done this year?
 
It will be out this season with the "cam only" motor. Next year it SHOULD be out with the turbo setup.

Is it wrong that the car has jackstands under it more often than it has tires on?
 
Will do, I'll be at the shop tonight working on it a bit. Hopefully I'll get the t56 and the exhaust dropped. A guy at work just bought the transmission today so I need to get that out asap.

By the end of the week/weekend the new brakes and wheels should be on. 15x10 prostars w/ 325/50/15 ET radial and 15x3.5 prostars up front.
 
Yes, the shirt says "LS1s from Ohio are fucking fast!" :)

That's just a little baby turbo, simply used for the picture. It's going on a cobra, not my car.

No it's not the shop that is being rented out. It's John Valentine's place.


Larry, no way, it's just a little "cam only" car.
