At the request of the mouse man. Making good progress on my hooptie. 3 weeks till power tour. Trans is fit, tunnel is done. Not my best work, but considering the floors need replacing anyway, I’ll work on making it pretty when I have to redo it.

Looks good!

 

[ChristianPatriot]

That’s gonna be awesome Rusty

Rusty.........I have seen far worse trans tunnel hack jobs.
Looking good sir.

Rusty- looks good man keep making progress.
Btw are those flat spots in the headers custom? Lol

 

[RustyHornet]

Thanks fellas. No stopping now. I’ve been at it 10-16 hours a day for over 2 weeks straight now. My body is not happy, but no rest till I’m driving in the Smokey mountains next month.

Yes, custom headers. Only way to go on a race car.

You will have a very unique ride my friend. Unless you are at an all Pontiac gathering I would lay odds you will not see another like yours.

Let the hate flow. I won’t even be upset. I want this car bad.

Mission accomplished. Now to play with spacers, air cleaners and stuff to see just what kinda hole I’m gonna have to cut in the hood.

That looks harder to replace quarters on.

I may not be as old as CM, but I am old school. I can give credit that some of those ricers can make decent power and can be fast because they are super light weight. But the good thing wilould be after you get done racing it you can put it in the trunk of the Ventura...no need for a trailer or tow vehicle.
Seems a bit pricey for a go cart though.

I dig your dedication man! You are certainly putting in the time and energy, it will pay off when hit the road in the Smoky's. Btw the color on the engine is some old school cool

I’m not really an import guy, but put some forged goodies in the engine, up the injectors and pump for corn juice, and have a 450-500whp engine in a car that probly weighs 1900lbs.....I could get into that.

All that work for an engine that might have 250hp.....
