I don't care they did a nice job all around on the look of the car and the engine looks clean and like everything fits. would be a great car to see in person with that much work and money into it.

+1 no rust sweet ride

But that's just it. Everything doesn't fit. The turbo (impressive as it is) is where the radiator should be, the turbo's output is where the alternator should be, and the air intake tube is where the firewall should be. The car has no windshield wipers or power brakes. The car's go no cooling system, no charging system, and very likely no interior. It's easy to make stuff "fit" when you don't have to worry about making other stuff fit. It's built to go 1/4 mile at a time and that's it. Personally I'd rather he did that to a dime-a-dozen Mustang...

I agree with your guys' sentiment about street cars, but it is a nice ride...  I hate watching those "6-7 second "street cars"  run, because they aren't true street cars....  lets see one drive to CJ from my place....


That's why I didn't go nuts with my engine build. Yeah it uses mostly stock parts (except the cam) but it stone reliable. Once I had it built I didn't want to have to change stuff out every year because it broke. I just want to drive the car and have fun :burnout:

... Everything has it's purpose.  I have my t-bird for the daily driver.  I have the Harley for the poker runs.  And I want a drag car for the 1/4 mile.  If it was me I'd like to have a t-bird dragcar... not some py mustang.  So personally I'm all for that guy's choice. 

Watch the videos on that dudes website.  That thing is one Kickin Chicken!
