Thread: Everybody that is currently building a car...

Wow. after looking through some of the projects going on here I really feel out-classed. I've never been a show car kinda guy, but I've always felt I built some pretty nice "drivers".... until I saw yours. geeze. I won't live long enough to build that kind of detail into a car. Oh well. I still enjoy it.
A few years ago I was buillding a Northstar powered IMSA Fiero and got off on a side project of building an individual throttle body FI system for it. kind of because some guys said I couldn't do it the way I had sugested. anyway... I set up a mule motor in my shop to test out my ideas on, and once that project was compleated (successfully BTW ), that motor has just been setting in my shop ever since. a few weeks ago I got the bug to build a car for it, and then things just kinda started falling into place from there. first a 23 T body and bare frame fell in my lap really cheep, then a T-5 trans, then a custom flywheel setup for the Northstar, and on and on. I had a 56 Chev rear end and a 36 Ford front end with juice brakes already set up on it, so now all I need to do is connect all the parts together . As all my cars are, this one will also be of "driver" quality, and not a trailer queen. very little chrome, but lots of powder coat, polished aluminum and paint.
mock up has begun, and here's what it looks like so far.
