I picked up this car in pieces last year and thrashed for a few months trying to get it done for last season but stalled out in November 2020 and focused my energy elsewhere. Fast forward to this year and we are back at it. Not sure how soon it will be done due to backorder and all the excuses but we will hit the sand in early 2022.
The car has had a few previous owners and was not in the best of shape. Hell it wasn't in any kind of shape. Lol. Upon buying the car we stripped everything off the chassis and took it back to have the powder stripped. After that it went to Joe Fab for repairs and upgrades. A few weeks later I picked up the chassis, now tabbed for a 2d with electric PS and all new arms.
I took the car straight from Joe's to be powdered matte black.
In that time I started collecting parts, a refreshed 2d from fullthrottleguy and all new hubs from Parker at gearone. Decided to go with 2"hollows and midboard 930s. New belts from crow, new intercom from rugged, new Chevy Colorado headlights to fit in the hood.
And then we stopped progress in 2020. In September 21 I stumbled on a LS2 from a 2006 gto with only 46k miles on it. Picked up new motor mount tabs and a full kit from kennedy engineering with a stg 4 clutch. We also rebuilt all 8 shocks with new seals and new oil so they should be ready to go. Some of them needed it badly and had probably never been opened.
That's where we are at currently. I still need to find a set of rear beadlock wheels with 2" backspacing and I need to order the harness and ecu from cbm but fingers crossed it'll hit the sand this season.
The car was at the SSSS sometime between 2006 and 2008. All black with a blue airbrushed Medusa theme. I think Nash did the original paint. If anyone has pictures of it, good or bad let's see it. It may be a sin but the paint has got to go. Might even rattle can the panels a bright solid color just for the first season.
I'll update with more pictures but this is all I have on my phone. You can see the picture of my wife and I with the car in its original condition. Yikes
