You planning on doing some of this:

Wow.....At least in Florida, I can assure you that is completely illegal even for someone that has a concealed carry permit. I just got home from work and dropped everything on the pool table to open the box like a kid on Christmas. You are supposed to be focusing on the huge polished thing, not the little black plastic thing!

That is some set up. That would be a long stop if pulled over and that sitting there.

I carry a full size .40 because I'd rather have 28 shots (14 per magazine) then what the carry guns offer. I have no problem carrying heavier.



When I want more H&K .45 USP Compact.

Here is the S&W 500 Video. Notice is so loud other people at the range stop shooting. Plus the 4 foot fireball can be scene from all lanes.

This is our friend Carl enjoying the wrist breaking shots of the 500.

As you can tell we are gun fanatics too. If we're not working on the car we are at the range or gun show. I know Rog goes almost every week, I'm every other week.

For Father's day my wife and kids got me .40, .45 Ammo and Gift card to my local range.

Here are a couple fun videos. The first is a Walther P22 with a suppressor and the second is a MAC11/9 with a suppressor.

Are you going to be changing out the cam now that you are F/I?

It's already done, pictures on Page 3 I believe. Stocker came out and a split duration TFS Stage 1 is in. Didnt like the cam bearing wear but I think it should be ok for awhile.

I think in MO this is legal, I know you can have a loaded firearm within reach hidden or in the open (IIRC). I just dont know if there is a min. distance. The law was changed a few years ago when they enacted the castle law/doctrine and included automobiles to discourage carjacking. You don't need a CCW for having a loaded firearm accessible in a automobile is basically what it boils down too.

Well the month mark just passed since starting this project. It's coming along ok.

Just about everything in N/A form is on. Vacuum lines on, wiring done, timing cover bolt finally done. Really the only thing now is the Vortech and fuel pump. Guess it could be this weekend if the car let's us (been a fight with this car on everything).

hasn't been that big of a fight though if you were able to practically completely rebuild the thing in a month. that's great progress in my book.

Guess if you put it that way its been quick. We don't work on it everyday either, mostly weekends. Many nights during the week I'll put an hour in for small projects. Can't complain then, it's moving pretty good.

I didnt know if you were sticking with the TFS 1, or going with a blower cam. I'll be interested to see the power you make with that cam. So many people use it N/A, and now they can see how much power it can help produce in a F/I combo. Good stuff.

I know in Iowa your CCW allows you to keep your weapon loaded while in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. Without it, the weapon and ammo have to be seperately contained, and out of reach of each other. Im curious if you could rock a set up like that legally here. Obviously police wouldnt care for it either way.

Just buffed the car out. It's doesn't run but it looks fantastic. Rides high in the front so we will be fixing the stance soon. Plus the front sway bar is not connected. We still have some little things, Vortech install and the dreaded fuel pump.

In Florida while in a car, CCW or not, the same rules apply. The gun can be in any condition (mag loaded, unloaded, one in the chamber) however it must be "securely encased in a latched compartment." So a glove box or center console is sufficient to satisfy that.

Looks like a hole shot at the track while the car is in the garage. Car had been jacked up for a few weeks and when I put it down I also pushed down on the front end. Can't believe it's riding that high in the front. Looks like it's getting ready to do a wheelie standing still.

it does look like that but if you look at the line of the floor and side panels it looks almost level. might just be perception with those big meats in the back.

We've been undecided about the drop for this car. We are going to cut the springs a few times to find the desired height. Once acheived we will order accordingly. Intially it was going to be FRPP 5300-C spring which have a drop of .875" front / .5" rear. Looks like that these springs won't drop the front down enough. We will have to cut first. Pictures of it dropped coming soon.
