Love the engine work! However, and ya'll can hate on me if you want but I really don't like lowered cars. Just my opinion. Yall are doin a good job though.

To each their own, no worries there...

SEMA update

Engine display ready to go...   We just finished our first set of sheetmetal fabricated aluminum valve covers.  More details to come (billet machined o-ring inner and outer flanges, pictures, etc.)


top view from the rear - 1/2" stainless hard lines for the breather tubes and from the Y-block up to the -8 fuel rails


3/4 front - stainless hardline that feed the RC Engineering 71lb/hour fuel injectors...


Close-up picture of the oil fill and breather line and the fuel line behind it


Heading out first thing in the morning.  Looks like the weather is a bit nicer in Vegas...

The work and attention to detail is just outstanding! Really looks awesome! Hopefully you will be attending the next SEMA show ('09) with the car so I can see it in person.  :bigshades:


That is the caliber of work I'd love to be able to do myself, yet I doubt I'll have the tools, machinery or skills to do things close to that. ! I've always wanted a turbo mopar, yet even if I did manage to get something together in my car...I doubt I'd be happy with how it looks. My hopes would be something that looks like your work, however my hands and head just couldn't make it look like that. For now I'll be fixing BMW's, and still keep dreaming of doing projects like that for a living. But at 21, I may just get the chance to someday  :)

If I were one of the other builders going for SMOTY I would just quit. You guys have it on lock down in my opinion.

The car is absolutely breathtaking.  What's the story on it though?  What flew up someone's butt one day (besides money and incredible talent, hehe J/K) that really drove this whole thing?  Passion for Mopar, custom work, power, racing, car shows, investment, statement to the world, need for uniqueness, or... ?  Just curious - what will this car be used for once it's done?  Will it be framed in glass and displayed in a museum, driven on tours, or maybe raced hard on a track (I like that one)?

Like I said - breathtaking - GREAT WORK!  (you must be almost tired of hearing that)
