Hey everyone, I'm Chad. I have been a long time lurker on the maliburacing forum, and kind of worked my way over to here.

My car has been a 6 year project so far, I got the start-up car for an 8th grade graduation present, and now I am in my 3rd year of college. Sooooo much to list, so instead of listing it all, I'll just put up some pics of it as of right now -

(Actually first here is a little buildup thread I put together - http://ctautoscene.invisionzone.com/ind ... c=107&st=0)

A few very general details on it-
BBC402 11.5:1 compression, Rossler Terminator 1 TH400, narrowed ford 9", custom cage, harwood 4" cowl induction hood, custom interior, lots of custom bracketry (went to a technical high school, took the machine shop - made car parts all day and got A's for it. :D ) Built and painted entirely in a 2 car garage, only sent the car out for the interior. Total body-off restoration, there is as much detail underneath as there is on top. PPG Concept DCC 'Grabber Blue' Paint.
Lots more, any questions are welcome!

Two thumbs up sharp car! Did you toy with the idea of painting the bumpers or was that the plan all along? I am on the fence about this with my car.

wow that looks good. Like the interior work. Wondering about what type of fuel you're on. Is it pump gas-able?
