Great looking project, with excellent design and build qualities.

Pat,

Nice looking job. What are you using for the drive line components?

I don't think my street license (regular driver's license) would qualify me for a test drive.

I don't think it's his second project

It never ceases to amaze me what is being built in the garages in this country (and other countries)

That is some nice work. It kinda looks like a Front engine Dragester with the front wheels in the back with a car body on it :-D . It does look super. I like the Diff. Is that something you made?

Excellent work!! (I'm jealous!) I do have a question though. You certainly invested quite a few hours in that, as well as some serious greenbacks. How did you decide on the import class?? Was it based on payout?? Sponsorship?? That investment into a traditional 8 cylinder would yield quicker times, no?
My guess would be that you plan to run in the high to mid 7's. It always baffled me how they get a FWD to hook up with no weight transfer, unless the pneumatically load the "wheeliebars". Certainly is an intriquing project.

did you hammer form those endtanks for the IC? They look great. Id also like to see the IC with the water jackets installed. Drivetrain Looks like the idea that Bob Norwood came up with for the Scion Tc car. But they were using a dana front end or something, could be totally wrong. Great work

fabman

no the end tanks are half rolled and welded..
