wow that is beautiful!!

 

Looking good man!
Wish I could of saw it complete.

 

WOW

I love everything about it...

Where did you get your antenna ?

 

Hawks did the antenna. Its just a stock unit cut and a ball put back on.

 

Yeah man nice antenna!



lol

 

So was all ready to start the IROC FINALLY and... nothing. Would crank all day but nothing. After lots of troubleshooting found it had no fuel pulse or spark. Pulled the wiring harness I have back out of the car and the Crank sensor wiring has been sliced like 8 times so hopefully thats all it is. Will try again today. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

 

Its alive!!!!!

 

Was this recorded on a VHS tape in 1978?

Only joking, sounds very healthy. I cannot wait to see it moving under it's own power.

 

LOL, Actually an IPhone

Should have it moving on its own power here very soon. Been a long time coming.

 

Little better run video.

 

Found out the car had only been running on 4 cylinders... Fixed that problem. Slowly been getting all the wiring sorted and put away. Got the few little missing pieces now so I should be able to have it move under its own power this week with a dyno tune in the next few weeks hopefully.

Made this front support cover out of a sheet of carbon fiber. The part next to the nose fits like stock and will be drilling a couple holes in the rear and some stainless arp hardware. Soon...

 

Should have some updated pics in the next few days and some run video.

 

Wow....alot of work when into that congrats !

 

Would really love to see and know what had to be done to fit the 80 in there??

 

Drove the car for the first time in 3 years! Although not very far I was still able to drive it into the show we had this weekend and then took my wife and son around the block in the IROC. I will post the Video soon..






Wife in tears seeing the car move on its own power for the first time in years. Yep married the right one. LOL.

 

Awesome!

 

Priceless!

 

LOUD NOISES!

 

Wow! That is an awesome looking setup! Do you have all the bugs worked out and tuned yet? Dyno?
...You know we want to see a lot more than just idling around!

 

 

Thats one nice Iroc! Still planning on putting it on the dyno?

 

looks good and sounds good!

 

Yea just trying to get the time.

 

Havent updated this in awhile but the car runs and drive now. Havent got it on the dyno yet but should be soon.

 

Good job, looks like if all fit in there with little mods. How much HP is it supposed to add?

My tuner and I are shooting for 1200.
