Got bored this weekend, and rolled her out.

Had to brighten things up since I've been under the weather all week.

I know, I hear ya, that crossram 300 would be worth quite a pretty penny now days.

As far as engine choices, I have plans for a killer small block pump gas stroker.

Yeah, a crossram hemi wouldbe cool, but I'm gonna drive this car on the street so a big burly hemi would be a little too much overkill for many reasons.

Yeah,but a rig like yours requires either dual quads or at least a blower.I mean,you got the looks so why not go whole hog in the mill dept?

Sweet car. The rear tires look a bit ridiculous on such a small body though.

You're going to drive that on the STREET?! It looks like a drag strip car to me. Nice, very nice, Cuda!

These twin turbo's exude a pleasing level of mechanical aesthetic:
