Holy crap that thing is wicked looking, you got my attention. Great fabricating

 

[roadrunnerman]

It just blows my mind the fabrication that is in this project.

Nice job on the door gaps - they are horrible on original cars, ask me, I've got 2 '66's...subscribed.

WOW . . . I'll take TWO of them, they are incredible . . .

Now, how can I fit (2) turbos and the 5.7L Hemi into my convertible . . . Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .

 

[LPRacing]

thanks guys!!

had an idea hit me last night and i think i am going to move the turbos from the front and put them down low behind the front tires now

well its been a while, but how about some updates

The fuel system consists of a waterman cable drive mechanical pump and a aeromotive a1000 electric pump both worked into the same line with check valves. The mechanical will support all the horsepower we will ever need and the electric can prime and even run the car if the mechanical has any issues. Also the car will be able to switch to efi if needed with no changes.

Dual 10 lb fire systems

The wing finished up, wicker made, supports added

shut off switch, battery charging terminals, and battery trays

Fabricated 30 gallon fuel cell and mounts

The start of the dash

Throttle pedal and linkage

Some firewall pics

Turbos moved to their new position, motor and trans position set, new combo in car

exhaust

can see the new turbo setup in the background, plus a bonus BAE hemi shot

We decided to modify the front end completely

I will try to get more detailed pictures and descriptions. There are literally TONS of things that have been done but are not seen in these pictures.

Dont feel bad about cutting up the 66 either they didnt offer the 440 in a 66 coronet 500. It wasnt until 67.

Amazing work.

Why the 30 gallon fuel cell if I may ask?

 

[67 coronet]

Im not too up on the original options and everything, but that being said....Im not afraid to cut anything up. haha.

Thank you.

We have intentions of doing drag week and it will be a car that will get driven on the street a lot. We also wanted to have enough capacity if we were to run e85. Should get pretty decent mileage on the highway but around town and stop and go traffic they do suck up fuel pretty badly.

Thank you.

sadly just about everything on this car has been done at least twice. it doesn't help speed stuff up but i am really trying to one up myself with this one and really push what I'm capable of

 

[Habib]

This car is one of the coolest car ive probably ever seen AWESOME work

Wicked project! How are you doing the flush glass and vent-less windows? Lexan?

 

[Cman]

Stunning car ! Are you going to paint it black....

[LPRacing]

The windows will be lexan... Optic Armor made them for me. I had to send the original front and rear glass to them to use as a mold. The sides will be getting stainless steel frames made to interlock the lexan in and help it all keep its shape and seal against the weatherstrip. The front and rear will be glued in like a new car.

it is going to be gm supersonic metallic blue that comes on the newer zr1 corvettes. The cage will be a silver color and interior will be black and be upholstered like a factory 60's muscle car just a lot nicer than factory stuff

Wowsers!! Too cool man, too cool. Looks like you have been keeping the bead roller going full tilt. Like the tubs.

Every machine in the shop has been on full tilt.....we joke about how many filler rods we have probably used on this car. We have even had to make a bunch of tools to get what we want out of stuff. All sorts of forming dies for the bumpers and grille stuff.

 

[747mopar]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in love, that car is flat out wicked. I really like the exhaust exit too "super cool looking". The quality of your craftsmanship is off the charts and nothing looks untouched in some way or another, I'd be scared to race it when your done with all that work in it. Sweet
