[Project69]

Oh and Whats it got under the hood?

[badbu68]

I like it, I think it would look a lot better with some lovers in the hole in the hood closer to the windshield.

It's reminds me of a transformer.

I don't have the louvers built yet for the hood but I hope to get to them soon.

[showme]

It's just a 355sbc but if the car weighs what I estimate it at It will be plenty!The suspension is C-4 Z-51.

They are just temporary pad/blocks to save on the body till I finnish the brace for the pin area.It is a lift off ,but it is also hinged.

It's gonna be a while before the Wheels get replaced.It will happen though.(As soon as I can come up with 3 grand extra!)

howd they like it?

[showme]

The car drew alot of lookers.It was kinda funny several were down on their hands and knees lookin under it.No negatives on it.That was a first!Even a few vette purist were checkin it out and liked it.I got alot of questions on how I was gonna finnish things.

[WS6]

congrats on a successful first showing. It's funny you mention the things you'll find at a small town car show. Poplar Bluff, MO is home to two Baldwin Motion vettes. One is a one of three 1973 Manta Ray. The other is a one of one Moray.

[badbu68]

Ha, there is definately a motion "newstalgic" feel to that car.

That was what I was after.I love the old flared out racers of the early 70s and wanted to upgrade with some modern tech and breed it all together with a dose of attitude.

Here's a few from today after the show at the local airport.

Hey Showme, I've been following your build since you initally posted and I'm glad to see that you've got the front-end looking like the drawings! I think that front end is lookin real good.

Congrats, and definitely keep us posted on updates!

niiiice!

what did they think about your car?.. any hateration?

[showme]

All positive remarks and a lot of pic's.It was a peoples choice car show and I was among alot of nice finnished vettes,still got alot of votes.Everyone was cool and very receptive of it.The Bikes, Blues, and BBQ was going on in Fayetteville and had such a big turnout that they were also all over Eureka.It's was cool to drive down town by the bars and bikes and hear them holler HAMMER HEAD!I thought that I had left a doughnut on the the rear of my car I got tailled so much by the man.:wasntme: :doh: There was well over 1000 vettes and maybey twice that many bikes all the time there.I also noticed alot of other rods and muscle cars there.A good time for sure!

[fishtail8]

I was wondering what happened to Hammerhead, now I know. Glad to see you got it out and running before it gets cold. Make you feel good to get the wind in your hair and the crackle out the pipes. By the sounds of your exhaust, the neighbours are gonna love you.... I know mine love the crackle of mine..... yea right.. !!

[vanzuuk1]

That car is odd but cool.

[Steve Firebird]

I like it. Looks like a lot of work has been put into the car.

I did buy a new video camera a few weeks ago.(Cannon)It seems to do a nice job.

This is what I've been working on lately.Hammerheads new heart.it's not complete yet and I still have to plumb for the twin intercoolers,but it lets me make some adjustments and tune.The turbos are A/R 50's.External waste gates,twin Bovs.ect,ect, bla,bla, bla,here's the short clip.Sorry,my new video cam is allready MIA,my kids are in a band,go figure.:banghead:

That is one wicked Vette! I love it!

[showme]

I'm looking to build a Ls motor for it next and add the intercoolers.It will get a better layout and will look cleaner when I rebuild it.This was not a permanent design for the layout for the induction.I have learned alot with it so far.It's just time and money,,,,,,rite?????LOL!:cheers:

[showme]

Well, it's on again! A hot 6.0 gen III and a keisler TKO 5spd are here and will be in soon.The 6.0 was placed in last year with the auto trans but not what I wanted.This one will get turbo's too down the road and is being set up to handle them.It's been awhile but I have been off of the project for a while.I have a few of it setting in the car but It's coming back out to finish.

Yes,It's a modded truck unit! I like the way it's built but hated the looks of the stocker.

[68Formula]

I hear the truck unit's a pretty good flowing piece. I'ts just fugly (in stock form) and often doesn't fit well in under stock hoods.

Nice work! Wish you had a detail on how you built the intake.

I have a few pics somewhere.I basicly shaved everything off off it and filled the holes with epoxy.(Had to form it on the inside to keep the runners smooth.)
