I'm not setting a power goal, so then I won't be disappointed, but it is awesome to know that I have the capability to make 1200 hp without hurting the block. it is stroked to 331 that was the point of getting it from DSS. really like that setup. Yes, this is Julie's car and her ideas, I'm just fullfilling her dream.

simply amazing man.

Thanks, man.

I can't finish the interior, cause we ended up having the upholsterer redo the door panels to match the seats exactally. Back to the turbo part of the build, made some descent progress...

The left exhaust pipe coming off the turbo looks a bit tight!!!!!

There are no words to describe this car. I honestly still can't believe my humble little '91 coupe helped you decide on a final color. All I can say is well f'ing done, Terry.

Looks great. I'm curious as to why you're not running another Hogan intake on this car...?

I guess mostly, trying to keep it looking more period correct, also those Hogan's ain't cheap. We also felt that some of the power went to the top with the Hogan.

Thank's Brian. Yea, it doesn't seem like the white car any more. I hope we've done Joestang proud.

Well. Weldcraft said that it could be done-have tailpipes with their kit, so for all the naysayers...



The mufflers are StainlessWorks, got to hear these things and they sound cool, hope it's the same on our setup.


All the tubing is finish welded and ready for sandblasting, then hot coating, or powder coating, depending on the piece...




We screwed around with some powder coating and it turned out pretty well, I'm sure it will get better as we do more. We were able to match a color to our trim color too...the bottom color




Here are some we got done

Exhaust looks great. Can you show a pic of how it routes around the axle and coil overs? I dont think I've seen anyone run tailpipes with coilovers.

^ Im with him, do they even make that series Falken tire anymore? I though that was the coolest tread pattern back in high school when they first came out.

This project gets sicker and sicker as the thread goes on. You gonna be at Carlisle this summer with it? I thought I saw the black and red car there a couple years ago, maybe we could represent stangnet and park next to each other at the show if you go. Although I probably wouldn't stand a chance at winning any trophy's then lol
