Zepher is the one I never heard of before. I dont know my car history that well. Camaro meaning a small vicious animal that attacks & eats mustangs made me laugh. I will have to tell my camaro driving budy that one & watch his head swell up. Then remind him his camaro couldn't beat my car when it was an NA car much less the turbo version when it returns to the street. He loves to talk trash but, its so much fun to deflate his ego. You said that hood scoop makes an appearance on the next two builds. So that means we can all look forward to at least 2 more stories right? By the way, any update on the curent build thats at the paint shop?
The hood scoop does show up on two more cars. There were 3 cars between the Hurricane and the one I'm gonna show you here. This car doesn't have a stupid story that goes with it though.
This is the very first test session.

This is a Mitsubishi Starion w/ a Ford engine. It also had a C4, An 8.8, Mustang Struts and Grenada 5 lug rotors. ( It just didn't know it wasn't a mustang) Also notice the two fuel cells. One had Alcohol in it, and the other had 110 Octane for N2O enrichment
The goofy guy flowing the nitrous system is me. My sign guy didn't want to make the front sign where I overlapped the blue oval over the Mitsubishi tri-diamond, I told him it'd be O.K., I told him I wouldn't tell anybody he did it.
It ran 5.60's and was constantly scaring the crap out of me. One time it'd wheelstand about 12-15", and another time it'd just keep on going up until I pedal'd it. I think it wanted to be a space shuttle. This picture was taken at Lassiter Mountain. It is my "Local Track". It doesn't look like this anymore however.
The other car was another Mustang that turned into a Fairmont. Only there is absolutley NO photographic evidence that it ever existed. It will be in the next Stupid story.
Pay attention to my "local track" it plays a big part in the next story.
As for the current project:
No, pretty much as I feared. Just sitting there. The painter called me today, and said he was working hard at it. (first day anythings' been done since it was moved there) I'll stop by tomorrow and ck if there is any real progress.
I have his car. He wants me to work on it in exchange for the same on mine. I had to mount his engine and trans (SBC and turbo 400) Build mini tubs, and mount his rear coil overs, and wire the thing. The tubs are built, shocks are mounted, and the engine/trans is mocked up and hanging waiting for the welding. Once that is done, I'll have another week wiring the thing. He knows my time table.
So, all-in-all, I am in better shape than he is with me. But as long as I have his car, he has an incentive to get done, and that is better than nothing.
