My brother and I picked up a couple rollers and have started our builds. The plan is to put supercharged Hayabusa engines in them, upgrade the suspension and brakes and get them on the road (safely) before working on anything cosmetic.
We picked them up from Keith down in Nepoleon, OH and he recommended I document the build here. My brother is working now on the fab for the engine cradle and sourcing the transfer case to drive the rear axles. My job at present is to beef up the suspension and brakes to handle the planned 300+HP. Mine is the black 74 which will probably end up with steel GT flares. My brother's is the primed and glassed out 72. Let the fun begin! (If anyone has 5-lug / brake upgrade parts available, please PM me) Attached thumbnail(s) |

The 7 must be a handful. The high rpm scream is something else. What do you think the $ number is on one of those engines?

The build is proceeding slowly. Mostly still stripping the chassis and build a rotisserie to do the needed body work. Going to replace a few pans, reinforce the longs, and modify the front tub for a sway bar, etc. I'll try to post some pictures soon.
Anyone who has a donor body or pieces of one, ping me there are some specific sections I'd like to fix up and patching from another car would save a ton of fabrication work. |
