Thanks guys for the nice comments, it was a long 4 year build as you can see its hard to find on the shelf items for the car, so I had to build a lot of the stuff on the car. But I finished the car at the end of Jan.07 and Got a call to be a Feature car @ the Super National show in Albuquerque that got in all the papers and posters and tickets so it was a blast for the first time out, oh ya got a 1000.00 bucks for showing it also. The car is amazing as the power is just a tad to much for such a little car but it goes straight as can but up in smoke as far as you want to go, thank god it does not get traction. It does not matter you can be going 50 mph down the road and just blip the pedal and up in smoke it goes it really does blow a lot of people away when your next to them doing 50 and the rears are spinning.
Again thanks for the nice comments and look forward on searching the site to see if maybe I can help out in anyway.

Welcome to CHR! One of the nicest looking engine setups that I have seen in a T bucket or anything else. 2 mpg??
Definitely a short haul ride. Damn nice looking though.

Hey Twin Blown. Welcome to the site. I'm from Edgewood. I've seen your car around town at different shows. Very cool and very loud! Doing the Super Nats this year? I'm going to have my "Rat Truck" there.
I believe we have a mutual friend Larry Green.Livin' on Route 66
