The funco dream

So BADA$$!

Joe @PainterJoe is such a great guy and great to work with...I knew you were in good hands when I saw he was the one who painted it.

:sba:

:headbang:

 
It was windy... I got the car from Funco last monday. Quick and easy is the easiest way to say. I got the car pulled out did a lil put around camp. Mr @Squatcher was there and nice enough to lend a hand. A lot of hands. The car is absolutely beautiful, Grant and Painter Joe freaking killed it on the paint scheme. @J Alper built a nasty driveable 440 Whipple, and his customer service is amazing A++++.

This car rips and dunes like no other car I have been in. It wheelies almost on command thru all 5 gears.  I had a few lil hiccups, lost an alternator, but for the most part the car is amazing. Will post some pictures and videos later after I get caught up on work.

 
Wow that car’s bad azz. Congratulations

Thank you, it was my pleasure, I am glad it only needs cutting brakes and no steering wheel,  

 
Awesome build! *wipes drool from chin*

Good to see all the amazing people involved in such a masterpiece

 
Now that i am kind of caught up on work and drama at work. The trip was stressful due to that. The car came out phenomenal. The paint really sealed the deal for me. PAINTER JOE did exactly as we planned and was great to work with.

Grant nailed all the lil details and the interior work and pouches and pockets and details really were a step above the rest. It is a Bugatti in the sand. Almost too nice. And the way it dunes is like nothing I have driven before. So smooth..

The power that @J Alper built me was so impressive and intense. I told him I wanted a reliable whipple duner and I think he nailed it.. I had a few questions while out there and Jason answered my call every time. A++++ customer service. The car was so intense to drive I had to learn to adapt to it and drive it. 

I have never been able to get both my kids in the car at the same time. I was actually able to dune with them and enjoy my rides instead of crying over fear etc. 

I was undecided on what car to keep and sell. And kind of still am, as I always say everything is for sale for the right price. 

But I do love the car so far. I did the shake down lost and fried an alternator but that is common I guess. Had a few little issue in the programming box my dash. Otherwise it is bad ass and a supercar for the sand.

Huge shout out to @Squatcher for all the help, feedback, and family time. He really saved me and I am going to nominate him for duner of the month.

Right on. Glad you loved the car. I carry a spare alternator now because I’ve lost 2 on new motors. Seems there were some issues with some of them. Cool thing about a Funco is there is so much knowledge out there and people are willing to help. It’s been so long since I’ve had a different manufacture I wouldn’t even know the differences. 
 

your car is beautiful I know which one I would sell. Lol.

car came out great Tony.  I wish we could have gotten in a good drag race but both of our Alper Engines would just wheelie out of control when we tried to drag.  I guess we both need more seat time for drag runs in these new beasts.  Have to agree with everything you mentioned about my car as well.  Thanks Jason Alper for a killer engine and power.

I definitely need more seat time in it to make me feel more comfortable under drag runs. Alper does what alper does best. Make HP.

 
Are those omf wheels? If so 1 piece or 3 piece billet?

 
Check the pulley size, if they over spin due to high RPM they will burn themselves out. 
I blow mine out with air at least once a day, same alternator for 10 years.
