For the hood I'd vote for the funny car snorkel style

or maybe the 6" old school Cowl hood

do you have any idea for the hood yet? Maybe the Cobra style nice and subtle.

Dave,
Hopefully i should have an update with pictures today. That reminds me, what did you do for floors/firewall in your beast?

dca1042 · 09-21-2008, 07:02 AM

sorry been away for a few days,floors/firewall all went straight out with 9" angle grinder.
mounted body to chassis/cage,then tinned it out from there.
quickest i ran it over the 1/4 was 10.00@139.99mph.and a absolute blast to drive.
cheers dave.

dca1042 · 11-09-2008, 04:04 PM

been away and havent quite kept up with all the goings on.
cheers dave

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Cant wait to see it finished

TXws6 · 11-10-2008, 01:29 AM

haha wow thats going to be so badass!

deathbyspoon · 11-19-2008, 10:57 AM

Progress has been slow unfortunately. My fabricator got burned on another project and had to hold off on mine for a bit to make more money for the shop. Such is life.

I just had the axles shortened though, and got the tires mounted.

I'm pulling the hood off this weekend and am going to work on making a mold for it.

Anybody have a starter and aluminum driveshaft they want to sell me cheap?

deathbyspoon · 12-11-2008, 11:16 AM

Sweet!!

Excellent project!

RaceLogic has a traction control product which would be very effective on your car. It's expensive, but it would make your car extremely driveable.

deathbyspoon · 12-11-2008, 01:04 PM

Thanks for the headsup on the racelogic traction control!

But i always say "If everything is under control then you aren't going fast enough!" Kidding. I'll check it out.

Death machine, you mean fun as #uck machine!

Shawn MacAnanny · 12-11-2008, 01:19 PM

I dont know how i missed this thread. This is one of the coolest projects haha

GuySmiley · 12-11-2008, 02:19 PM

Cool project, wish I was capable of fabbing something like that.

Later

deathbyspoon · 12-11-2008, 03:00 PM

I wish i was capable of fabbing it too!

Being capable of driving it without killing myself is another issue...it's going to take a bit of getting used to...although i'll probably want more power in a few months :-)

deathbyspoon · 12-12-2008, 10:06 PM

and more pics...
