Been working on this since November '09, drove the checy into the garage, was flat black, pretty basic, nothing fancy, '79 chevy truck 350 SBC with a 350 Turbo attached to it. No gimmics or anything modern in it, just carbureted automatic, had a 80's camaro posi rear end under it, stock front straight axle converted to disc brakes. I am building it to be a daily driving 10 second show car. Started by tearing it down to the frame, narrowing and boxing the frame, mustang 2 IFS, 4 link rear, all on bags. I WAS looking at putting an LS3 with a T-56 in it, but came across something better. Bought a wrecked Dodge Ram SRT-10. Cammed and catless had 565 wheel HP, and 4.88 rear end gears. Used the motor, trans, rear end, brakes (15 inch front rotors, 14 inch rears). going to use the seats and adjustable pedal assembly as well, but i am not that far yet. 305/25/22's on the rear, 245/35/20's up front on KMC Nova Chrome wheels. here is how she sits now, while i am in Iraq for 4 months working. Hoping to finish it up by september. Black and red leather interior, and either corvette red or ferrarri red paint outside.
