    The SN65 project car

    Hi CE, Yes, the SN65 was a lowly 6 banger. So... Even though she comes from humble beginings, She has worked long and hard to build herself up to the point where now, she deserved to run with the big boys. :-)

    Hi All, Josh, of the Daily Herald, is going to write an article about the SN65 project. He asked me if I knew anyone, other than us, he could talk to about the project, I thought of all of you. So... I would greatly appreciate it if you would give Josh a call at 630-587-8626 and tell...

    Hi All, This post really has nothing to do with the SN65 project, but….. My brother just got word that State Farm is revising their authorized shop programs. They are consolidating all their programs into one and eliminating all shops that do not complete a specific number of repairs per...

    Hi FTT, Interesting... My wife Teri picked out that color and she also picked out the current yellow we are using. I think she has a good eye for color. Anyway... The color is 2001 dodge dakota briliant blue. It is a saphire blue pearl clearcoat.

    Hi E, Can you do me a favor and measure the dash. What is the overall width (from where the dash meets the door to door). Just currious. :-)

    Hi All, New update at the site. Also, Forgeline heard we were having wheel fitment issues and have decided to help us out with a cusom set of their 3 piece competition wheels. I just sent them off the dimensional data and they are going to create a wheel that has the proper offsets and...

    Hi H, This is by far the toughest decision we have had to make to date. We could have used any wheel we wanted if the whole theme of the car was not the blending of 65 fastback and SVT cobra. You are all going to laugh, but one of my favorite wheels is the 93 Cobra turbine wheels. I...

    Hi All, I have a slight problem and am looking for a little help. I need a Cobra wheel that is 17 x 9 and has a backspacing of 6.5 to 6.6 (the factory Cobra backspacing is 6.12). Any ideas? Bob

    Hi All, Wayne got the grill together the other day and it really makes the car look aggressive. Even Sandy, the office manager, said it looked mean. Here is a close-up of the intercooler heat exchanger air intake. What I notice, when walking around the car, is that you cannot see the...

    Hi all, There is a short article about our build on the V8 TV website. http://v8tv.truckworld.com/tenartic...aid=2455&sid=96 I got a kick out of this comment "We had to see it to believe it. Bob and Wayne Julian are a special breed of car builders... meticulous, creative...

    Hi 98, Thank you for the kind words. I don't quite know what to say. I really like the SN65 and Wayne is thrilled with how it is comeing along (even though he is still the nit picking perfectionist). There may be few design eliments we would have altered a bit, but overall, I think we are...

    Hi 1320, Thanks for the chuckle. :lol: While not all pro-touring cars suffer from the "We based our project on the 2001 Muscle Machine" design philosophy, some do, in fact, come across that way. It is not the pro touring concept that I have an issue with. In fact, I like the idea...

    Has eanyone ever noticed how front page stores photos in a single directory? And that by changing the photo number in the URL you can see all the photos without having to go back and click a shortcut... Good luck :-)

    Hi 1320, Don't be so hard on Bob. He aint all that bad. He has a certain vision and he pretty much sticks to it. It is not that he does not like the SN65. He just does not fully appriciate all that was involved. Some people out there hear us describe the car and they have trouble...

    Hi All, New update at the site. We have been moving along well on the interior, etc... Also, we are only publishing select detail shots of the car, but we have taken many more shots than those published. For example while we may have only published photo 06-01-28 (4) we have taken photos...
