its finally done drove it today

[454muscle]

took my 6 year old with me and he said daddy this carr is cool...

That's gotta be the icing on the cake. Car looks awesome bro. Nice touch with the Flowmaster stickers (normally stickers are tacky, but they look good on yours).

Are those chrome tips on the ends? I can't really tell from the pictures. I'd also suggest some wide tires on the rears (staggerred look).

How about some shots of the engine bay and interior? Also what is the horsepower output of the stroked 400?

oh yea the motor is a stroked 400 434 cu.it flys also a turbo 350 trans 342 govlock posi headders flowmasters ,and i could go on for hours..

Please do! 😛

Its great to see someone do all the work, nothing worse then a wannabe car person that paid to have their car built. Great Job..

I agree lol however I'd love to be able to do all the work -- only problem is, all I have is a basement apartment and a parking spot. So my ride had to be done on other's shops and other's time. If I had a garage to work on I would have done it all myself. Right now it's in storage and I'm doing some interior work and other things myself, also currently having the front Lauren Engineering front skirt modified and adding an aluminum air dam to it -- which I'm having custom made by a local machine shop... also for the first time ever, gonna actually drive it tomorrow (March 15)!!! Still needs alignment and engine/transmission calibration but still exciting for first drive, in a gravel parking lot, mind you

the 434 starts with a dart little m blockwith a 4.155 bore (.030 400) and uses a 4.0 stroke it cost about 3,880 for the bottom end and another 1,200 for the heads but this sucker flys

that car is sweet! and a more pics would be awsome. i would like to say tho, if ya ever have the car in the rain, i would recomend taking off the car bra and cleaning under it. nothing like having a very nice car and having crud ya dont see under the bra. the reason i say this is i had a friend witha 89-90's camaro and it had a car bra on it since he bought it. well one day at work we were taking it off to replace it and everything under the car bra had BADD rusting. there were holes where i could stick my finger through on the hood. but he parked it on the street everyday and in the winters. but VERY NICE CAR! i wish my car was a fraction as nice as yours. GREAT JOB!

Cool. Now you just need traction to put it to good use and a rear that will hold it. Actually I am guessing, you may have an 8.5 or ford 9 under her do tell. What kind HP / TQ is she supposed to make? Plans to take her down to ye ole test & tune? How about some under hood & interior pics?

Anybody know do they make drag radials that will fit the g-body 14x6 olds ralleys?

very nice you should be proud :lol:

 

[racing8up]

yea it does have a 9 inch ford and adj control arms for a dirt track car, also a hint a 9 inch ford out of a lincon versalis fits great under on of these it ran on the dyno at 427 hp and 410 ftlbs of tork at 5100 rpms i have the pinion angle on the rear set at -7degrees and it hooks up after bout 60 feet and then pulls real hard then

looks good, good work. I would so proud of my self if I did all the work on my car.

 

[dogsht]

Let us know if & when you get to make some test & tune passes. I am interested in seeing the mph et & 60 foot. Also what size tires are you running?

Really nice job and there is nothing like building a car on your own. It's great that your 6 yo son is there to enjoy it with you and you have given your son a great example of having enough patience and dedication which will make you prouder and give you more satisfaction than buying something. Your son will grow up faster then you think possible so it won't be long before he's asking for the keys...

 

[racing8up]

yea my son loves cars already and some day he will get the keys to it he just dont know it yet..... 😀
