Special Thanks To

Many thanks to my wife for the support, and thanks to all the friends that I've made online across the country. That's what makes this fun

Other items

Other items on the car include a Hydroboost system from Hydratech Braking Systems, an AGR quick ratio steering box, March billet pulleys, Spal electric fan, Mallory Comp 250 electric fuel pump, and I'll probably install a set of Jesel shaft rockers within the next month

Comments

The car is coming completely apart this winter for media blasting and fresh paint. It will be DuPont Viper Red with white stripes, all new glass, mini-tubs, roll cage, major chassis mods and/or an aftermarket front clip. Twin Turbos with EFI will added once these projects are finished. I occassionally update my website with the progess that I'm making: http://webpages.charter.net/gulb93/index.htm

Story

My goals are to build a car that is timeless, has great character, function, form, styling and packaging. I really haven't forged any new ground with this project, but it's been great fun.
