Instead of doing a complete build thread I threw together a quick little build video. As most of you know im not into going into specific details on engine combos etc. But I did include a lot about the build. It has taken me the past 10 months and it is awesome to finally hear it run this time with LS power. The car went threw a entire overhaul from suspension to complete wiring of the car. Today I was able to get the new cage certified and will be getting a hood, and alignment this coming week. We will then set the suspension up around a 26 x 8.5 tire. Yes it is loud for now but will be going to see my Chinese brothers for a custom tig exhaust real soon! I don't plan to see a track with it any time soon as my main goal is getting it to work on the street as best as it can, and I will be driving it daily as much as possible.

Want to send thanks to anyone that had a hand in this build!

Looks awesome. The car looked great before and you made it even better.

I also love the license plate and the kid swing in the garage.

Would be interesting to see the different directions they took with almost identical cars.

Theoretically his "Should" be. They are very similar combos yet there are a few key factors separating them apart as far as the engine goes. My car will also be on a 26 X 8.5 tire to his 28x 10.5.

I know the weather has sucked the last couple of weeks but have you had a chance to get it on the road yet?

Haven't drove it yet but I did get it aligned. Exhaust parts are sitting here just need to get it over to Lorenzo to get it fabbed up. I had a house fire two weeks ago so I have been dicking with that bull shit. I am hopefully going to get some paint on the hood here this Saturday or Sunday. If it wasn't for this stupid fire I would be driving it to work by now. lol

Sorry to hear about the house fire, hope it didn't do too much damage. Hopefully you will be able to wrap up the last few things and get it out soon. Sounds like the weather may start to cooperate this next week.

Update- I drove the car over to Lorenzo's tonight. Felt pretty damn good to finally take a spin after all the hard work. Over the weekend I also got Fiddynutz to paint the hood Hot Rod Satin Black and I also installed a pair of Kenwood Door speakers to go along with the Kenwood head unit I installed as well. Lorenzo and stevo are fabbing up the exhaust set up and doing a few other neat little things for me as well including some custom hooks for me to strap the child seat in the back to take the kiddo along on Saturday afternoons! Prety excited its just about time to start testing and making this baby go!

Im going to try my hardest to prevent that during testing. Car will sit on a 8.5 tire so hopefully we will be trying to make it work and hook before we have to try and make it stay on all 4.

They also fabbed up a bracket for me to be able to put two extra fasteners on the front of the hood to prevent from the hood flying up and smacking the cowl deck and windshield these cars are natorious for doing.
