Ok guys it has been a while since I updated or posted anything regarding my new project. Well the header question but no pics and not really an update.
So here she is in all her glory.
Once Vince at Ray Alan Racecars finished the chassis work. Jason at BJS Racing got it to wire. He was on an extremely short deadline. But he got it done. All the wiring will be removed along with most everything else so it can get painted.

It's a work of art. Best thing about it is that it has a passenger seat

Thanks everyone.
It has been a long build but I want to do it right.
Steff, unlimited has those scoops.
Al you are right, Bruno unit with a Liberty. Waiting on Dyno time to get the numbers from the motor.

Ok motor and colors..
The motor is a "stock" NASCAR long block. Scott Brown freshened it up. made sure it was all correct and put it back together. We went with a M&M intake. There was a lot of work done to it and 2 Ultra HP Dominators.
Colors, well that is still a bit in the air. But I am getting close to picking.
One option is close to what Billy the Kid Stepp ran. Some changes to it. But if you see it you will get the idea.
option 2 is black with the side body line/panel, like the Demon in the link, the same color as the rearend housing. There will be a stripe up the center of the car with silver accents on that strip. I am thinking to have either silver or black stars up the center of the center stripe.
I will have 2 hoods for it. one with the old school scoop and one with a new style pro-stock scoop. I will also have 2 sets of rims for the car.

Re: Update on my project-little update - 02/16/15 07:27 AM
a little update
Car is being pulled apart for body work and paint. paint scheme is set. Big thanks to Peelerboy!!
My painter Ben told me this is his last car. so I am happy and sad about this.
Tin work is coming out of the back, trim is off for polishing, header guy is lined up, wiring and rest of the driver compartment stuff being removed and got the SuperJax, bled and ran them through before putting the car up on them.
Even set the modern scoop on the car to see what it looks like.

up on the super jax
Motor is ready for Dyno, waiting on 512 to be completed both to be done in same "session" and sent down.
as for colors on the scheme, I will just say, silver, black and something close to mood indigo.

Did you win the lotto or something ,Tony?

Re: Update on my project - 02/17/15 07:17 AM
Al, yes you do spy a Speedwire switch panel, it is all speedwire.
Don, no I wish. would have been easier. It has been almost 3 years of hard work. Working over 65 hours a week average for the last 3 years to build this thing. It is now really close....

Re: Update on my project - 02/18/15 07:33 AM

Re: Update on my project - 02/18/15 08:20 AM
Both cars are looking good Tony... you sure are putting
a ton of work into the new one... even the old one
is looking nice compared to when I worked on it years ago
when the steering was falling off... so whats the estimated
ET on the new ride

Re: Update on my project - 02/19/15 01:16 AM
Nice! Can you post some more pics of the Duster?

Re: Update on my project - 02/19/15 04:40 AM
Looks good Tony! Still in AZ?
Posted By: mopartony
Re: Update on my project - 02/21/15 06:13 AM
Mike, yes a ton of time and work into both. The Duster has a 512 fr0m Scotty Brown coming but it has got, new tires, rims, brakes, dist, coil, batter, water pump, fan, carb and master cyl. Body wise, new 1/4s both sides, hood and paint. I will be re-wiring it when I put the new motor into it.
Yes I am still in AZ. thinking 2 more years. then back to Michigan, but things can change....
a couple more of the Duster coming.
pics are too big. will post as i can.
