Re: purgatorio
Let the magic begin, motor tranny install, headers and exhaust, shockwave install chassis reinforcement and powdercoat, custom fabricated dash and console.

Yes sir, back as well, he suggested doing shockwaves and changing the rear set up because the back half won’t hold up to all that power.

Re: purgatorio
lots of ways to get what you want! I will never disrespect someone who honestly looks at his expectations and his limitations. truth be told most guys who start their own never finish, they hit the first snag and sell sell sell. this thread had a big snag and kept moving.

on the flip side its not easy to build for customers, I turn down potential customers because the finish line is usually made of rubber bands!

Re: purgatorio
So decided against turbos, this is taking far too long already. Doing turbos, sending the motor to New Hampshire for piston change... I figured another year at the pace the fabricator is moving. Naturally aspirated it is....

O yea huge difference. The shocks that were in before were already leaking. He re did the entire rear and now he starts on the front set up. I’d say it’s cannon proof now 😎

Thank you sir, and yea, that chassis had a lot of weak points... believe it or not though, I’m glad it was wrong, that chassis now is on another level...
