My T/A

[Onebad78ta]

Here are a couple pics of the beginning of my car build.its getting a butler 501 motor that should make ,,675 hp and 675 torque.14" wilwood brakes, global west extended travel front suspension ,Art Morrison 4 link ,,9" rear end with back brace,370 gears with trutrack

[cpd004]

What wheel is that in the back?

[srh3trinity]

Fikse fm10? Formula 43 wheel? Either way it looks good.

[Onebad78ta]

Yes There Fikse wheels 12x18 and 9.5x18 I thought they would look good ,,,Almost like the stock look but way cooler.,,,

[5500rm5]

VERY NICE! in for build...

[Onebad78ta]

Thanks,,the really nice work is comming up

[instro84]

thats a purdy bird.

[sixfivepost]

Gonna be bad a$$! Love those Fikse wheels. Too bad about that shop, I would have made him fix the door and anything else he screwed up.

[Onebad78ta]

thanks man,,,It should be a lot of fun when its done,,I didnt plan on having to waste so much money though,,,its looking like I will have to get a new frame put in it because I think it was measured wrong and it cant be lowered any more to get the ride height I wanted.

[Onebad78ta]

Butler performance did the dyno runs and the motor made 655 hp and 670 torque that should work just fine for cruising around town.

[Onebad78ta]

I can hardly wait until the new spindles and brakes come in so the new wheels can be put on the front end and get the ride height set.

What spindles and brakes did you go with?

I used a kore3 set up and modified the spindles but install will have to wait since i got laid off at the beginning of the year. Will be using the stock brakes, just new calipers and rotors in the mean time with the stock snowflakes. One day it will be completed as I want it haha.

[Onebad78ta]

I'm using a whole new package from global west,,extended travel bracket welded on to the frame,And there new extended travel lower Arm,Eibach 600 pound springs,with Viking shocks coil over setup and a 1"drop spindle with 14"willwood brakes.and I'm running Fikse 18x9.5 front and 18x12 on the back

[Onebad78ta]

Here are the hood ,shaker,wheels

[keepat]

Car looks great and the large shaker is awesome!
Nice job with build!
Pat

[Onebad78ta]

Thanks Pat,,I'm hoping to be able to get a decent sized air cleaner stuffed inside the shaker and since the motor has solid mounts it won't be moving around so it should work ok ,,,

[zamora7]

Watch out for babies, birds, puppies and cats with that scoop lol

[Justin@EntropyRad]

Sweet T/A!

[Josh@Ridetech]

Awesome. That shaker looks nasty!!

[Onebad78ta]
