    I bought this chassis and was not looking for one. I am a Mopar man but got a deal I could not pass up. The Chassis was built by primetime and then let sit in an open garage for a year bare so it had surface rust. So i had it blasted.

    The next step was putting all the sheet metal back in place

    Next step was to take the car back to Primetime for the chute mounts and have the doors and front end mounted. They also redid the motor plate.

    Nice car! Why not a MOPAR motor? Just because it is a Chevy doesn't mean you can't use a different engine.

    If we decide to take it 10.5 racing we will build a turbo hemi for it.

    people have been shot for less......

    Sweet car. Looks like someone wanted to go 10.5 racing and started out the right way. Guessing that expensive chassis broke the budget and they then realized the real money was in the pieces.....Nice find, looks like it's gonna make a hell of a car.

    It took so long that by the time the car was back from the chassis shop that he lost interest and that is why it sat in the garage with nothing being done to it for so long

    The SB2 is now sold and a stage 10 kb hemi with bae heads is sitting in its place. We also bought a alcohol efi system from mick's. Mick's also set us up with some new turbo's for the car.
    Here are pics after the painter was thru.

    Very cool! I talked to micks about those injectors, but the screw in style, Those thing are bad ass. Car looks great, should be a rocket ship when it's figured out. Are you going to run Outlaw 10.5 or something else?
