This is going to be the rebirth of my old Red coupe, I'm incorporating everything that my SN95 has into this coupe. Long story short, I had an accident in my SN and I don't feel that it would be wise to fix the chassis and keep the current engine combo in it. I use to have a Red coupe that I loved, 331 with a 66mm turbo, this is going to be the resurrection of that but taken to the extreme. I will document every step from start to finish, enjoy.

The car I'm using is a 4 cylinder coupe that was giving to me by my best friend and the work is being done at a friends shop, Insane Race Cars. This would not have been possible with help from good friends.

Right on brother!!!

 

Yo my brother, don't forget to call. I will be posting some more pics sometime next week, planning on getting the 9" from Richard, donated of course and having the tubs done and installed. Eli is planning a 25.5 chassis, so no more playing around, got some good ideas for the trunk area too. Call me when you get a chance.

 

Insane Race Cars at work, just got back little bit of progress. We hope to be installing and welding bars in by next week, getting the body ready for all the cage work and front end tubing.

Motor going in will be the 375 Yates headed motor that was in my SN with an ATF Glide, and a 106mm with a Chiseled W/A.

so glad to see this, I knew it wouldn't be long, ha ha

 

LOL, yeah buddy, I had a little push from my friends on this one. Hope to have it ready for the NMRA in Bradenton, hope to see you guys there. I'm still going to fix the SN but with something way milder than what it had. What's the timeline with yours Brad, going to crank it up anytime soon?

 

Hey Rigo, Im stoked about you're new build, glad your able to do another, still looking to fire mine last week of december-1st or 2nd week of january, im real close, just need to get through the holidays and work a little overtime to buy a few little things

 

Thanks Brad, will do more after the new year. Here is the lower radiator support and also working on putting in the tubs and the cross bar, should be done tomorrow. This car is going to be a really serious piece when done.

Thanks Brad, it is definitely going to be a serious piece. Things should be moving quick within the next few weeks. Will see if I can make Bradenton or if not Georgia, hope to see you guys up there. How is yours coming along? I have a Currie 9", SN95 length that I'm selling incase you know of anyone, shoot them my way.

Me too, subbing in.

 

Been slow, working on other things, but finally got the main hoop welded and part of the funny car cage. We will be putting it in and running more tubes this week, will post as we go along.
