full length rails start at $1100

I havent posted on here or many forums in general in a long time. I figured a lot of you guys might find this helpful with building custom frame. I got a mandrel bender for 2x4x.120 rectangle tube. This a great and affordable solution to having to miter cut and weld rails.

no major progress to report for the week. just a lot of planning and metal work. please check out the link in my above post about our kick starter and join up to help sponsor the car and team

got the sheet metal about wrapped up, just some fine tuning and a few cleco holes to weld up. took it out to the local friday night cruise in

billet rods, mahle pistons ceramic coated and lined, ring of fire machine work done on head and block, intake cut off, port and polish, custom intake , over sized valves, injectors, pump, computer, compound turbos, better intercooler, nitrous, and on and on lol

finally got to start test driving the car. here are some pics of it out and about

to be fair i do have some grey hair. its coming in patches now a days

you can make the same thing with hand tools but would take 10 times as long

This was a fun little project and we documented it well with pics so i figured i would share. here is the spare the customer needs a smooth cover made for. he already has the band that goes around the tread part of the tire after measuring and laying everything out i started shrinking over...

been working on this a lot the past few weeks. i was not really happy with the shape of the nose so i decided to re do it. had to make a new buck, this one i made to fit on the car to make sure i liked the looks as i went used some masking tape to check the shape on the corners the...
