    'Nother wagon body "saved"

    Does your guy still have another wagon he's parting out? I'm still searching for patch panels for the ribbing on my roof that are rusted.

    95' Impala SS twin turbo build

    Anyone wondering what the extra turbo flange sandwiched between the turbo flange & header flange is - The turbos are so far forward past the headers that puts allot of excessive strain on the header manifolds and will inevitably cause the headers to crack. I have to figure out a way to make a...

    95' Impala SS twin turbo build

    Got the headers to the turbo pipes connected yesterday & today. 321 stainless 3" diameter 4" radius mandrel U bend pipe is expensive man almost $200.00 per each U bend.

    Checked out your photobucket pix Ernesto - really cool Grand Prix build you have going on there. Don't see too many of those done up. That's gotta be a blast to drive.

    83 Malibu wagon parting out

    Ya man! I took a hiatus on the wagon from when I 1st purchased it a couple years ago. It just sat outside my shop. I would get depressed just staring at it dreaming of what it could be - haha..

    Vintage Vette

    Ditch the 850 carb - way too big. Look at the Quick Fuel Technology - slayer series 600cfm. If it's an automatic car go with vacuum secondaries, 4 spd car you can go with the dble pumper. They're inexpensive and construction quality are really nice over similure style carbs (ie. Holley) 15"-17"...
