Project "THUNDER STRUCK"

[v8power]

you got that thing done in a hurry! i love the Chevy orange block! i wired my car the same way, with the push button starter switch and a nice switch panel where the radio and heat controls went. we must think exactly alike because what you did was almost identical to my build that is in process now. good luck with that rear end holding up, i started a 5$ pool to bet on how long it will last!! i feel for you though snow really does suck, we are getting 8 inches tonight!

i noticed you ran a stock car wiring set up, did you get rid of the main engine harness and put a solenoid and all that good stuff in it, i am wondering if my lights and all that will still work if i do not have the engine harness there.

I made that harness myself, but i still used the original wiring for the starter and for the alternator. I cut the rest of the engine harness out. Everything else still works great. just becarful not to cut out the wrong stuff.

wow, this thing is MEAN!

what kinda suspension are you running? I can't seem to get any traction to my slicks. Your car squats pretty hard, nice plant.

Thanks. the rear suspension is 100% stock besides an anti roll bar... stock springs, shocks control arms. the frons is stock cut v6 springs and a set of 90/10 shocks. on motor it does 1.60-1.63 sixty foots, on spray i got a 1.50 out of it.
