Thanks, you can find some project videos here and my other mucsle cars as well https://www.youtube.com/user/studio571/videos
Nice! I'll tell you, that Sportwagon platform is just screaming "make me a 2 door". Anyone else think so? I wish they would have made a two door model. Like maybe the 2 seaters could have been 2 door and the 3 seaters the 4 doors.
Really nice but missed the mark with the BBC. Why? Why? I always ask myself. Would have really been unique with Buick power. Nothing against Chevrolet power unless it's not in a Chevrolet.
only reason was that i have been working mostly with chevys for nearly 20-years and when i look at a price tag on building 700hp buick big blocks i just took one of the engines i had on my garage and run ls platform was an other option .
plus one on that... same like putting sbc's in Ford HotRods...never quite understood this... It's just kind of wrong for me...
Nice, and as a fellow Sport Wagon guy we need more of them to show up. You need a broom for your 'garage' :grin:
I copy that but from plenty of experience when building a 700hp motor of any make is expensive. From my experience it's too much for the street if you have that power it's hard not to use it. In my opinion 500hp with massive torque is a nice combo. My experience of having 700hp motors on the street wasn't enough power for me. It's just a matter of time until it bites you. I wrecked a nice car I had for over 20 years doing the same things I've done since I started driving. I finally realize what's too much power for the street. Had a lot of fun though. Getting older and wiser sucks sometime. It's a shame how things turn out
on back i have single adjustable ritech shocks, on front vikings twin adjustable coilovers. both are nice quality shocks.
on my 1970 chevelle i have 1480hp and i dont think that is too much, been drive that for streets for 2000miles now.. it is even economic on fuel.. uses E85 and uses less that many new cars.. but on vot it eats all everybody has different taste and build cars on there own needs. i sold the 1965 malibu last year, i really had no time for racing i wanna take the kids to icecream and enjoy daily the cars on summer.
