The twin turbo build begins...

[rodfarva]

They are 2.40" intake and 1.90" exhaust valves. I've not decided on intake yet. It is a 11.2" deck block, so only certain manifolds will work.

I did load the car up and drop it off at the chassis shop today.

 

[rodfarva]

On the chassis table. Just getting started.

any updates on the lexan? please post up your imput about them and also weight reduction numbers.

I talked to I think speed glass (they are in the back of every National Dragster) and it was $875 for lexan 3/16 for the front, and 1/8th for the two doors and rear window. Weight savings is supposed to be 50lbs or so.

I have actually weighed the door glass and they are 11-12lbs each. Supposedly the front windshield weighs 30lbs, and I don't know how much the rear window glass weighs.

No updates on the car, but I did start a website. It's still in the design phase, so there isn't much on it yet.

This is not my actual wheel, but it is the same size wheel and tire that I will use---a 16x16 Beadlocked wheel and 33x10.5W tire.

This is a sick project...Can't wait to see more updates

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

I can't watch anymore. I think a large part of me just died.

 

[rodfarva]

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have regrets, but it's too late now. Might as well enjoy the show.

 

[CPRsm]

It's just a car. Go to town!

 

[GallopingFord]

wholey fuck...


That is just going to look wicked, until then ---- haters gonna hate.

 

[gray1622]

sick build. I don't think you regret it. It's money well spent. BBF > MF.

 

[psfracer]

This will be a fantastic car when its done..............but until then Matt has to expect that:

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Just for the record, I personally wasn't hatin on Rod. I don't envy him, but I do admire his courage to fullfil his dreams no matter what platform he uses to do so. I've just always had a very tender spot in my heart for the Snakes is all. My dream car.

Keep up the good work and I hope it exceeds all your expectations Rod!

 

[rodfarva]

The bars are gonna be nice and tight

I spent the afternoon cutting some unnecessary stuff off the k-member (the motor mounts and the rear a-arm mounts)

I've posted more pics on my website.
