SHIEF Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Figured I'd make a show and tell on this automobile so here goes. Bought the car last Sept. and after 2 good days of driving it spun a rod bearing. Probably a good thing being there was alot of stuff not together right and it was getting cold anyway. So I really didn't "build" it, I kind of bought it almost as it is, minus the new engine. Car already had the blower on it along with the chassis/back half stuff. Knowing what this cost, I was way ahead of the game for what I paid for the car. So putting together a new engine and fixing the blower (metal cut into the housing and rotors) wasn't all that bad. Car still needs quite a few things done here in the near future but time and money factor in there. Here's a off the top of my head rundown list of it: -383 chevy .010 block -All JE rotating assembly with 6" rods 8:1 cr, comp cams nitrous cam -671 blower with 2 Holley 750 dp carbs -NOS kit, but it's not hooked up (currently) and it's setup for a 250 shot which is a bit much for me/the engine on pump gas or 110. Just don't wanna blow it up yet. -turbo 350 trans (I have a built 400. Just waiting for this one to break to do the swap) -Ford 9" with Mark Williams 3rd member/axles -chromoly tube chassis w/square tube frame chassis ties -has PS, PW, PM. Everything a Benz (edit...Audi) should have Sadly it has a 8 gal fuel cell so I can't go too far (gets about 6-7 mpg). I will have a larger one made this winter so I can make a decent drive if need be. Like I said, some more things need to be done but it's driveable and almost track ready. Here are a few pics I have of it sorry if they are too big. http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-01-07212750_zpsfd4c5043.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-01-08181849_zps13a95a03.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-01-10213636_zpscba71991.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-01-10213651_zps5a66b6f4.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-03-30140742_zpsbfdc080a.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-04-24190454_zpse783f6fb.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-04-24190548_zps4ef4728f.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-04-24191248_zps7e8860e6.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-04-24185744_zps36ef361e.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-04-21111232_zps70c26be1.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a587/shief13/2013-04-24185717_zps2b7e24a0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIEF Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I've seen you running around recently near Summit Station. It sounds and looks mean as hell. Yeah, parents live over that way. It only has those racing bullet "mufflers" on it now which makes it loud. Going to put some type of exhaust on it soon. And thanks for the nice words guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
