Sadly, I haven't had it to the track since I finished it
Should be good for high 10's on motor and high 9's on spray.

[Blown71X]

yea...sorry about that Hijack

This is the new one...still in mockup and a little farther along than these pics show.
Hopefully i`ll get back in the mood to work on it this winter...also doing a 71 Cuda for the wife so I have to split time between the two.








This one is going to be whole bunch lighter if it kills me.

My offroad rig, 72 bronco. Total frame off. Sucks its still back home at the folks til I have a place of my own to finish it off in.

[Treorp55]

Not super super modified, but quite a bit done:

By itself, you dont get the full extent of it:

Some shot's of my rust bucket.

[nissan_crawler]

'57 chevy I sold, 550hp 396, '77 3/4 ton chassis, bits and pieces of lots of vehicles. I still hate myself for selling it.





'89 nissan, I know most people on here aren't into them, but it certainly falls under modified.

2002 3.3 liter, cams, headers, high flow injectors (still probably only 200hp, nothing special)

twin transfer cases, IFS cut off, custom axles going in, bed is getting chopped, vehicle caged, it's a project.




photochop of how the bed is getting chopped:

Now that's NICE! I love the way the large slicks fill the back fender lines with the small tire combo in front. Very eye candy and also functional.:shocking :

About the only thing stock is the body and part of the frame....going to the auto supply can be a challenge....When they ask "What Vehicle"....I have to think which part I'm working on.......it could be one of several vehicles...

ya think?

"I need 12 9/16-18 lug nuts."
"What are they for?"
"A 9/16-18 wheel stud."
"What's the stud on?"
"A hub."
"What's the hub on?"
"An axle."
"What's the axle from?"
"The crate I took it out of."
"Well what's it originally from?"
"The f'ing company that built it for me!!! Do you have any lug nuts that size or not?!?!"
"Well I dunno, I need to know what vehicle it came from."
"IT DIDN'T COME FROM A F'ING VEHICLE!!!"

*20 yo counter chick walks by*
"Can I help?"
"God I hope so, do you have a dorman catalog?" (I used to work at a NAPA)
*idiot interrupts* "we don't have catalogs for that"
*20 yo counter girl* "sure, here you go"
"THANK YOU SO MUCH."

*flip pages, back to original parts idiot*
"here, have any of this number?"
"what about these? they're the right thread."
"yes, but they take a damn 1 1/8" socket, who in the hell wants that?"

*get pissed, walk over to nice counter girl*
"do you have any of this number?"
"sure, we have 12 of those."
"THANK YOU SO MUCH."

I damn near kissed her. After that I found the manager, told him the idiot should be fired, and he should give her the idiots wage on top of hers.

I use her all the time, she knows more than any of the men there.

[e-tek]

Nissan - you seemed stressed!! Send the manager your bill for de-stressing - or take the parts chick out for a drink! Good story!!

'73 Camaro, these are old pics..with the 871 blower, it's got a 1471 on it now.

This was 3 years ago:

The car has gone a best of 5.56 (1/8th mile, obviously)...and we just recently changed up the whole operation by installing a 598ci BBC....BLASPHEMY!! I know, but it's sooo much cheaper.

Dawg, I'm feelin' what yer sayin. On both points. The last outing I had was 2 tanks of gas in a day, with only 80 miles on the odometer.

Nissan, I can't tell you how many times I've had that same experience... While I don't have a regular any more (the turn-over at my local auto parts store KILLS me), I have come to call THAT person the "Alpha-Parts-Monkey". I don't know if you have them out by you, but it seems that near me O-Reilly Auto hires more than it's fair share of Alpha's.

OK, so I've trotted this out in a couple of threads here, but here's mine. Not part of the go-fast crowd, but I can't drive it without planning to talk to people who just want to know what it is. Even better when I meet somebody who KNOWS and get to show them under the hood.

1967 Jeep/Kaiser M-715 it's a 5/4-ton, yes that is a five quarter. The ONLY thing that's stock is the frame/body, everything else I did myself. Running a crate 383 turning 400+ HP and 440TQ at the crank. Th400 tranny, NP-203/205 x-fer case doubler, 60/14-bolt "modern" axles. 38'5" tires. This is what I built my shop to work on, the bitch of it is with the new job, both the truck and the shop are sitting ignored while I'm occupied making a living

[biggsean]

Here's my 2005 Subaru WRX Wagon. It has a full STI drivetrain (transmission, rear end, brakes, etc.) and a fully built 2.5L STI long block with the following mods:

- Kelford AVCS 272/272 cams
- Perrin rotated turbo exhaust kit
- Tial external wastegate, and Tial 50mm blow off valve
- Hallman pro boost controller
- Garrett GT35R turbo
- Hydra standalone ECU
- Hydramist methanol injection
- Perrin equal length headers
- Custom fuel system with dual walboro pumps, rails, and an aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
- Borla hush catback
- A laundry list of other parts, basically it has everything you can throw at it

It's putting down 430/400 at all four wheels on my low boost (20 psi) 91 pump tune. Once we flip on the methanol switch, and run about 27-28 lbs of boost, it will be good for 500awhp, and mid to high 10 second 1/4 passes.

Oh yeah, I still get great gas mileage while tooling around town. Just gotta stay out of boost.

[3DTIM]

Lot of super nice stuff on here. THANKS e-tek for starting this.

[e-tek]

WRX.....BIGGEST numbers in the smallest package! I've always loved these machines for thier engine-specs, but the package is decidedly UNDERSTATED!

NOW, if we could marry that incredible "blown" performance with HertzClone's 'Stang "SEXY" body.....I'd acually marry a car!!!

Thanks for the kind words. It a very stealthy machine, and can be driven daily. That's the beautiful thing about turbocharged all wheel drive 4 cylinder cars. It just takes a ton of money and work to get it to the level that mine's at.

That thing is money. Love it- specially the turbo by the soda can for scale.

Lots of neat stuff in here- y'all keep it up. I'd share, but I don't have anything modified in my driveway at the moment. Still not sure how that happened.

[Minitucking]

I know this is not most of you guys cup of tea but here is my hardbody. I have had it since 1998. Just recently started the major stuff. Its got a LT1 from a 95' buick roadmaster, new rear frame clip, Suicide Doors,Dash out of a 50's ford shoebox, Narrowed rearend for the big meats, and various other little stuff. She is still being mocked up so i can paint the frame and get the body work and paint done....

[zeebad1]

I have to agree that there are some impressive rides on here. This post is a great idea!

I'll start with our toy.... '71 Z-28/RS with lots of mods...



and then there's my "work" car (seriously).... '02 Z as my daily driver...



We had the whole herd lined up a couple of months ago....



The black S-10 has a 355 under the hood (oldest son's,) and the Cavalier is turbo'd & tuned (third son's.)

We're getting close to building a "toyroom" for all of these. I'll be spending a lot of my time around here. This site is a wealth of information!!

It's always good to see your "junk" too and that "shack" that you keep them in.

I've lurked here for a long time, but now I'm here a lot, getting ideas for the new building.

[htweelz]

Minitucking sweet ride! I love Minitrucks. I had a '92 Hardbody King Cab bought brand new lowered it, big stereo all that stuff. Not bagged like yours as at the time they weren't as available as now.

Here are my rides not too modified but still fun to drive.

2001 GT Diablosport chip, 3.73s, Tri-Ax shifter, Flowmasters, CAI, Steeda suspension and 18" FR500 replica wheels.

ZIG,
Thanks for asking,they are Rushforth Super Spokes designed by Jason Rushforth and forged in So Cal.The finish that is on them is called "smoked titanium" and is applied after the wheel has been brushed.Specs are as follows:
Fronts:
18x8 (4.875" b/s) w/Nitto N555 245-40's
Rears:
18x10 (5.625" b/s) w/Nitto N555 275/40's

Check out www.rushforthwheels.com or contact Jon Henson @ www.driverzinc.com to check out their stuff.

[Graham08]

I build supermodifieds...like this...





Unfortunately, this car got crashed at its last race and is probably a goner...

[jeepgod]

Here's mine.. the power plant isn't much to look at.. painted olive drab like the rest of it.. no chrome.. just dirty aluminum.. but it's balanced and beefed up to 450 hp/500 lbs.... fuel injected AMC 401... the rest of this pig is hand crafted by my friends and myself with a little help from Guinness... full hydro steering, 4 link rear suspension with quarter ellipticals.. shortened dana 60 front with a severely shaved 14 bolt in the rear.. running 5.13's welded up.. i am about to link the front axle and ditch the leaf springs..

as for the modified part.. well i started with a stock jeep 12 years ago.. and now all that is left of it is the transfer case, steering column and speedo cluster..



and let me say.. this car is just AWESOME!!! One of my all time favorites.. very nice!!!

[dipper]

It hasn't got the attention it's had in previous years (especially since building a new garage) but it seems happier now. Soon I'll have heat and will be able to spend more time working on it rather than the garage.

Future plans are possibly bags, and a mild rebuild on the stock motor.

FYI: it's going to be his truck too!

[autoist]

Mine's still evolving in the body shop...here are a few photos of the body followed by one of the engine & another of the front suspension...she'll end up with 8x16 wheels & a curb weight of less than 2,000 pounds with the 4L aluminum V8 engine putting 300hp at the 11 pound aluminum flywheel....not anywhere as fancy as some of you guys' cars but it wil be my daily driver & should put a few 'pocket rockets' to shame on the street:

[Frank Elson]

what a load of great cars you lot have. Not that I'm surprised.
Autoist, is that V8 the Rover one ? Mine's the injected 3.5, just has the sports manifold and silencer so far but we have plans to rework it over the winter.
They go well in the Range Rover but in a lightened MG they are real flyers.

[autoist]

Frank - it is a Rover...with a BOXER cross-flow manifold holding quad 44 SU's that I brought back from the UK in my carry-on luggage!

Here are the engine specs:

= Late Rover 3.9L block with cross-drilled 4-bolt main bearings.
= Rover 4.2L 'long stroke' crankshaft.
= Rover 5.7" 4.2L 'long stroke' rods.
= A&E Hepalite 3.9L short stroke pistons shaved .080" off top & 1/8" off bottom with moly rings.
= Triumph TR8 carbureted heads with combustion chambers relieved, oversize 1.625" intake valves & 1.325" exhaust valves, ported, polished, decked.
= Chevrolet small block valve springs with 95 pounds on valve seats.

= Isky 270° cam with Isky 'anti-pump up' lifters.
= All reciprocating parts balanced & blueprinted.

Bore: 3.7"
Stroke: 3.0"
10.5:1 compression.

= Oil galleys opened to at least 1/2".
= Neoprene seals.
= Brass freeze plugs.
= Morosso spark plug wires.
= 11 pound aluminum billet flywheel with 10-1/2" Rover SD-1 Borg & Beck clutch.
= Buick 216 V8 distributor upgraded to Pertronix ignitor electronics.
= Nippon Denso/TS Imported Automotive 'Hi-Torque' 4.44:1 gear reduction starter.

= BOXER intake manifold w/4 HIF 44 Carb's: modifications are:
+ Halved throttle spindle
+ Butterfly knife-edged
+ Throttle-fixing screw-heads and shafts countersunk and cut down, smoothed off, (Loctite threadlock used of course)
+ Carb body ported around intersection with dashpot bore
+ Piston leading and trailing edges smoothed, to eliminate sharp leading/trailing edges
+ General smoothing of any sharp edges or manufacturing errors such as casting flash.
+ Carb inlets smoothed to match Velocity stacks (trumpets).

= TS Imported Automotive Jet Hot ceramic coated RV8-style headers.
= DELCO 45amp alternator.

I really don't consider my 2004 Dodge Ram (Hemi-Sport) or my 2006 4Runner Sport "SUPER MODIFIED" (to be honest I don't consider any of vehicles SUPER MODIFIED, but I felt like posting up some shots) so I won't bore anyone with their stats, however all of my vehicles are modified, I simply can't leave anything alone.

[e-tek]

I hope KnightRider already had that somewhere and just copied it....

[Frank Elson]

Thanks Tony. there a lot there in my plans - and a lot that is not but I will be printing it off and taking it to the pub tomorrow where we hold our planning meetings.

Here's my 2003 SVT Cobra Mustang. I don't have any good show off pictures handy. Just a collection of pics that show of whatever project I was working on at the time. In regular street trim it looks stock except for the seats and if you notice, the rollbar.

Engine shot:


Here is the last dyno sheet:

My files are to big to upload, need to take some more photo's.

The plan for the boss motor is a twin turbo set up in a 69 or 70 mustang fast back.
One of my other toys is a 1993 F150 Lightning with T-70 turbo & intercooler.
That is fun.

Sorry, I missed this.

The goodies:

crossed up offroad housing, 1/4" plate, 3/8" tubes, stock (for now, we'll see how they last) dana 60 c's.

The outers:
Stock dana 60 knuckles (again, for know, we'll see how they last)
6 lug conversion (new hubs, rotors, calipers, caliper brackets)
stage 8 locking spindle nut kits
35 spline lockouts/drive flanges (lockouts for daily use, flanges for offroad for strength)

The third member:

Strange modular 9" third member
ARB 35 spline air locker with 300 m clutches installed
5.89 Richmond gears with 35 spline pinion
billet machined 35 spline 1350 pinion yoke
daytona style aluminum pinion support

Axles:

35 spline 4340 axles, longfield 300m dana 60 u-joints.

The only used parts on the entire axle are the c's and knuckles.

Once it gets in the vehicle (never have time), I'm going to decide on the steering. I'm *hoping* I can fit just the draglink in front, and the centerlink/hydraulic cylinder (hydro assist) behind the axle. We'll see.

I don't have a rear axle built yet, I'm debating between full float 9", or another 60/9" hybrid steering axle in the back.

Did you ever get a 0-60 time or a 1/4mile ET?

[tfi racing]

Well it is not a modified,they don't have fenders!Just your basic ARCA West
550 horse super late model...







The last few shots are for e-tek,he should recognize the setting!Thats from Sept 07,had a good run going till I decided I'd rather wreck it!

[IHI]

Been a project since day one, gets bracket raced during the summers, but kinda of weird since i'm one of the only racers that built a heavy street car to race LOL!! 3720lb going down track, interior from a 98' firebird i retrofitted, 800W stereo system, and still runs 10.80s all day long on pump gas through the mufflers, 427 sbc dynoed 636hp @ 6100 and 600tq @ 5100. this engine actually ran faster with the other bumpstick in it, so this winter i'm going to have the heads massaged and order the same stick i used to have in it that was running 10.60's wih the wrong convertor. We just put nitrous on it this past late summer/early fall for fun, now i want to add a second stage cuz, ahhh, yeah, that baby bottle is addicting LOL!!!


Test & Tune night just dinking around with the juicey juice.
first time trying nitrous



Down in St. Louis this past spring, this is a N/A pass, i have a round of qualifying i had to throw away so i just turned the 2 step up and addded more rear tire pressure to see what'd happen.

They are fun to watch, but I like the dirt.
Dirt packed so hard you hear the tires squeal.

Hey tfi - GREAT photo's - except that last one - hate to see it wrecked!!! How is the S'toon track? I've been meaning to get out there with my boys for the last two summers, but haven't yet. Next summer FOR SURE. I see they have an open night where anyone can bring ANYTHING for a few passsed - I might bring my company mini-van out for a beat-down!

They have tubesfor full exhaust cars.. cars with dumps get the big open door at the bottom of the air duct.

The guy i sold it to went 10.20 at 140ish? still leaving real soft.

Lots of great cars and trucks in this thread!

Here's a bone stock original motor 4speed 6bbl road runner that will be getting a 505cu inch stroked 440 with ported aluminum heads and a comp XS290s solid lifter cam. Everyone seems to be taking these cars back to original but I've had this thing for 6 years(and a number of different 69 GTOs for over 20 years) and have never had anything but a stock motor. It'll probably make 525-550hp and 600lb/ft torque. One engine builder says if I keep the redline bias ply tires that if I punch it in 3rd or even 4th gear at 55 to watch for the ass end coming around ...

[StumpFJ40]

I think trucks count...
Super Mods include: spring over axle, 35" tires, ARB air lockers (front and rear) with 2.5 gal onboard air, heated seats, powersteering, headers, MSD ignition, modified tranny, 4:1 transfer case= 81:1 crawl ratio, dual batteries, and onboard shower/hot water.

I'm guessing you're making it a direct bolt-in. Might as well save the original motor! Hopefully the rear doesn't come around and you wreck the car...

Here are a couple of mine. Click on the pic for a larger version.

[Speed Shop]

Maybe not "super modified", it's still a work in progress. My '69 Chevelle SS396 - 375hp solid lifter, bench 4 speed. It is a numbers matching car, but it has a few upgrades to suit me.
I should say that aside from designing models, I also work PT at S&W Race Cars. Feel free to PM me if you need anything. If I can get a good GJ response, I may be able to work out a group deal or something with the sales manager.

[Nuit Damnant]

Wonderful cars! It's refreshing to see so many different cars and noone being cruel to one another! Beautiful !

Well here's mine, one anyways...



Looks like an innocent Nissan Maxima Drop in a 5 spd, a mildy built VQ35DE, and you have yourself a runner it's not the fastest, or the most powerful, just a fun street car. I hit the time in my sig with a slipping clutch and street tires, so hopefully after this winter when I put a better clutch in it and some slicks I can improve on that. Goal is mid 12's naturally aspirated. Wish me luck next year

That is the norm on this board. People disagree about stuff but don't resort to name calling or personal attacks.

Here is my old car I built for road racing. Started out as a completely stock 200hp 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo.

Built motor with modified stock turbo that put out 350hp. While built for road racing, I did several types of racing including drag racing, land speed racing, hill climbing, drifting, rally and autocross (click links for cool videos).
It did 12.5@111mph in the quarter mile, and holds a record in Land Speed Racing for 2.0L Turbo cars at 152mph in the standing mile.

















Here is my favorite video of it. Passing Z06's, Porsche Turbo's, GT3's, BMW M3's, etc at VIR.

Nice MR2. I have an 85 Mk1 that needs some TLC. When the garage is finished; project one is going to be a MK1.5 conversion, I think. If nothing else I will at least put a supercharged 4AGZE motor in it. Little bit of rust repair to do too. I hope to make mine an all around track car like yours.

Really need to make a better intake for that truck, your sucking nothing but hot air with that tb mounted filter, sweet truck though, I graduated in 90 and always wanted one.

[Garage-Junkie]

Here are a few from my flock

[rickairmedic]

Hey Garage junkie that copper one looks like one I've seen before did Stacy David build thata one on one of his shows Trucks or Gears maybe.


Rick

[Reaper935]

IHI: Thanks - yeah traction will be an issue, but all the weight is focused over the rear so that helps a ton. I'm leaving some "squat" in the suspension as to not invite wheelies...scary thought.

kbs2244: Thanks!

e-tek: Haha, yeah the wing on there now is for trackwork only and the two big intakes feed the twin air filters for each turbo. We've found a factory original tail to put on but have to modify it to fit the intercooler.

Other than the tail, all the bodywork is straight out of Porsche History with the 934/935 series cars, the tail that's on there now is from a 993 GT2 that ran at Lemans...so I'm not sure what you mean about "Jap out" unless you're referring to the wing endplates. Which they actually serve a purpose (calculations to increase wing surface area and actual downforce).

We're going to attend the 2009 running of the Texas Mile and are hoping for over 210 So unlike 99% of all cars with wings on the rear - this girl needs hers.

Here's what we're shooting for when she's done but just in flat black, the early 1976 version of the Group 5 racers (click thumbnails to enlarge):

No mods yet. Got it new last Sept. It's the LS3 436 hp coupe. Future plans are to put a blower it it.


The 05 is the LS2 400 hp coupe. It has the Z51 suspension,brakes, shocks , spring rates and gear box from the Z06 model.


The 02 is the 350 hp LS1 motor.

Funny you mention that It is one in the same, but it's since been painted, changed bumpers, and built one heck of a stout AMC 401 for it, along with other stuff (interior / drivetrain / etc.). The motor in it is this puppy:


It's a fuel injected 401 that is 0.030 over with forged speed-pro pistons, crane roller valvetrain, hyd. roller cam, shorty headers, aluminum edelbrock heads, etc. Should be in the 450-475 range.



The grey jeep is called the Wicked Woody, and I'm in the process of rebuilding the LT1 I swapped in. It's being converted to an LT4 using the Edelbrock kit, and I'm also stroking it to a 383 using a Callies Dragonslayer crank, Compstar 5.85 rods, JE pistons, etc. Also slapped on some 4-bolt splayed billet main caps. Before we slap a turbo on, it should be in the 475+ range.

Not pictured is the J10 project I'm currently building (Dynatrac D60's, Mopar 360 crate engine, NP435, NWF Blackbox underdrive, Atlas II, 42" Pit Bull Rockers, Stazworks double beadlocks, etc.

Also not pictured is a '64 Olds F85 I'm building that already has a built 455 to swap in (Edelbrock heads, speedpro forged pistons, 0.030, forged bottom end with main stud girdle, QFT carb, Hooker Super Comp headers, Torker II intake, etc.). Should be a nice little driver

[e-tek]

Hey Junkie - So how is it that you are affiliated with Stacey/Trucks/Gearz? And what 's the story as to how you got it and why the changes? I'm always interested in the workings behind the shows...I've written some myself.

[rickairmedic]

Junkie what gave it away to me was the grillwork and color . I just dont see that color as a factory color for the vintage of the grillwork on it. I have seen thata episode a few times as well and watch Stacy's new show on speed . I met him a couple years ago at the Street rod nats pretty cool dude .

I loved that build. One of my favorites.

[Garage-Junkie]

The rig was originally my daily driver, and I had previously met Stacey a few months prior to bringing the truck to him. He built it up on the show, and once he was done with it, I went and picked it back up. For the changes, well, the truck "looked" better on TV than it really was. The floors were swiss cheese, the motor was leaking from every pore, the interior was blah, and the paint wasn't all that great. So, I decided to build it the way I wanted and have had a blast doing it.

As for Stacey being a nice guy, I have to say he is one of the most genuine folks I know. He's extremely personable, friendly, and darn knowledgeable about all things automotive (unlike many of the other tv "personalities" I've met / known).

Some newer pics of my Z06... made it a targa last winter/spring and painted it a custom variant of Ford Screamin' Yellow. Car was a few shades of Millenium Yellow before.

Cutting the roof




Coupe front edge fitted


Roof body work done



At Corvettes @ Carlisle 2008




Grew tired of the Tigershark nose and put a stocker back on


Car is going back to the body shop for a Specter Werkes rear bumper and getting a silver solid roof panel painted yellow. Was a crazy project, but I've always wanted a targa Z06.

[67pete300]

Wow! That takes some cajones to take the knife to such a nice, new car! But you obviously have the skills to pay the bills because it looks great!

[Cobra4B]

Thanks man... car wasn't terribly "nice" or "new" to me After running HPDEs and Time Trials w/ it for 5 years and nearly daily driving it the lower areas of the car were blasted and I couldn't find a painter who could properly match the factory 3-stage yellow.

My father and I got a Panoz race car so it was time to re-do the Z06 and make it a fun street only car again.... so out came the roof The inner workings are all the same as a coupe/vert so once the cut was made all the holes were there to use all OEM parts. The custom part was molding in the coupes roof panel front edge in to the remaining Z06 roof. After that it was plug/play of OEM parts.

Cool project. I personally like the FRC look, but I am a open air kind of guy. Now you have the best of both.

What about any structural differences? I know the C5 ZO6 does not have a different frame (like the C6 ZO6 does), but is there any other structural braces added with an OEM targa car? For instance - an Fbody conv't & Ttop cars have a bunch of floor bracing added over the solid roof cars (but they are unibody & the 'vette has a frame underneath). Looks like a simple mod, otherwise.

Where do you put the targa panel when it is out? Is there enough room in the cargo area for it?

[krooser]

My '56 F100. That's a Chrysler Industrial Hemi 354 CI. 6-71 Jimmy blower. MOPAR 4 speed O/D trans, Dodge 9 1/4" rear 3.54 ratio. MOPAR B body torsion bar front suspension. Stock rear suspension but slated for a Chevy C10 truck arm suspension.

The top is chopped 6"... the frame is shortened 10"... the box is a 50's viatge GMC that's also shortened.

It makes no difference. The FRC platform is stiffer than the coupe/vert because it has the b-pillar "rollbar" of the coupe and the chassis crossbracing of the vert, not because of the actual fixed roof. This crossbracing is the place that the vert tonneau cover and trunk lid hinge from. The C5 chassis is inherently stiff and was designed as a convertible from the get go. In vert form the car is actually 10lbs lighter than a coupe and requires no additonal bracing. The part I cut out was just SMC. The roof panel bonds to the windshield surrout and is bolted in place with 2 brackets up front. In the sides/rear it's bolted down and bonded down to the sub-panel. The front brackets are where the latch brackets go for the targa top and vert top... it was truly plug n' play after making the roof modification.

Here's a look before the cutting... you can see the rollbar part and then the other metal crossbrace under the rear window.

Where do you put the targa panel when it is out? Is there enough room in the cargo area for it?

Fits in the trunk perfectly... can't move at all. I had the coupe hold-down brackets to use, but ended up having no need for them.

[Weedwaka]

I fawking love Z06's

I had to sell my slammed and cammed black 2001 so we could build our house. As soon as I can I am buying another one.

I dont think i will cut the roof out of it though but with the prices of standard FRC vettes so low I may need a project car to mess with =P

[Cobra4B]

Yeah they're becomming mighty affordable these days. I was either going to get a new Jetsteram Blue '08 one or go all in on this one... you can see the choice I made.

Sometimes I wish I'd chose the 2008, but no car payment and something I built w/ my own 2 hands is nice. Come spring w/ the top out it'll be great.

[Weedwaka]

The notch Z's are way cooler imo. I have been in love with them from day 1 . The c6 never did it the same for me although I love the C6 interior and the C6 z06 specs.

For me a stock ish 2004 Z06 for keep mostly stock and a 99ish FRC to totally mess with would be the perfect combo. 427 FRC all motor with Z06 m29 gears OMG !!

Beautiful ride btw

Thanks for the info. Really cool car. I may be looking for an FRC in the future & this was the only reason I didn't want an FRC. Now it makes the decision easier. I have no problem cutting the car to make it the way I want.

[slghmmr88]

come on, lets see some more, I would post but my truck is just old, little modified and a bunch of miles (341K) and the only other thing I have left is my scooter.
Oh heck it aint a car but its old, modified and it works for me so here it is.

[Cobra4B]

Not sure if it classifies as "super modified" but here's a shot of me and my father's Panoz race car. I keep it in my garage as I have the trailer and I do all of the upkeep on it.

[AKS_Racing]

I have a few "projects".


The older one is known as "Miss Nasty" with 25+ psi boost. She runs in the very low 9s on DRs with a high 1.7 sec 60' times when it had just over 820WHP at 10.8 psi (would run faster if the 60' times were better at the new 25+ psi) . The newer one is "Smiley", and has yet to have any very serious mods.

I also have a gaggle of super sportbikes (they seem to multiply as my wife says). I picked these two up in the last month.



I alos have the Gix1000 and the 7R in the background, as well as an '89 Vette that is basically a tube chassis car.

Aaron

[Cobra4B]

What color is the C4... looks paler than competition yellow.

[AKS_Racing]

The '87 is Competition Yellow (GM changed the color formulation in '89). The C6 is Velocity Yellow (not to be confused with the C5 Millennium Yellow). While the '89 is the ultra rare "Red".
Aaron

[Cobra4B]

My Z06 was millenium yellow... it looks nothing like VY Here's my old roomates C6 parked next to my car before I made it a targa and painted it Ford Screamin Yellow.




As you can see they look nothing alike. The reason I asked is because I considered the later darker version of competition yellow when picking a color shade for my re-paint.

Funny story... roomate had a 380 whp turbo eclipse... nice car. Calls me one day, "Hey how much power do those new '08 LS3 Corvettes have again?" Me, "430, or 436 w/ the NPP exhaust." Him, "Ok... cya." I figured he'd had a run in w/ one on teh street and raced him. Nope... he bought one. I came home and there it was sitting in the driveway. Guess I rubbed off on him.

[VZ935]

[Cobra4B]

^ Holy crap... that's awesome!

[VZ935]

I took the original drive train out and built a 427 SB and dressed it to look like the original DZ302 . 9.5:1 pump gas motor did almost 600HP at the fly wheel and 500ft lbs. put in TKO600 5speed . Baer calipers with 13" floating rotors. Koni shocks , Hotchkis sway bars . Since Chevy did not offer AC for cars with solid lifter motors in 1969 I put in Vintage Air and upgraded the interior. Drive this car all the time and it is a lot of fun

[Garage-Junkie]

Ya know, I've always wanted to take a motorized wheelchair and modify the crap out of it. It amazes me that the factories produce these looking like they do, but there aren't any cool designs or heavily modified chairs around......like change wheels & tires, build a new frame with some cool curves and bends, maybe some sheet metal and some gussets that have been punched / flared. Would be sweet.

WOW, those are pricey! It is powered by batts I'm guessing? Horizontal to lay down? standing is cool too, as I've known folks that had various diseases / conditions / etc. where they could barely walk once already standing, but they lacked the strength to stand up on their own. What kind of chair is it?

OK, so I've trotted this out in a couple of threads here, but here's mine. Not part of the go-fast crowd, but I can't drive it without planning to talk to people who just want to know what it is. Even better when I meet somebody who KNOWS and get to show them under the hood.

1967 Jeep/Kaiser M-715 it's a 5/4-ton, yes that is a five quarter. The ONLY thing that's stock is the frame/body, everything else I did myself. Running a crate 383 turning 400+ HP and 440TQ at the crank. Th400 tranny, NP-203/205 x-fer case doubler, 60/14-bolt "modern" axles. 38'5" tires. This is what I built my shop to work on, the bitch of it is with the new job, both the truck and the shop are sitting ignored while I'm occupied making a living

...F'n cool

All of my junk is modified, but none of it classifies as SUPER modified....yet. So Ill hold my tongue for now. Yall have some awesome rides.

Man what a bunch of sweet rides.
a few pics of my junk

This was my baby before a nasty encounter with some ice on an off ramp.


Built 300 6 cyl, 4 bbl carb, split header, electronic ignition and some internal mods backed by a sweet C-4 trans w/ 2800 stall. This pic was taken during the mock up for an aluminum radiator and we had to custom build the doghouse as the stock one wasn't even close to fitting.


Unfortunately it has some major issues with frame tweakage, so a pic of the replacement, will be getting it painted and together as soon as the garage gets a bit of a make over.



We are building a nasty 302 to go in it.

[EXTREME]

WOW, definitely some fine rides in here and one HELL of a variety. I love it!

Here are some of my passions! None with Heavy Modifications but all with some mods lol

mine too since that'd be an extra $380/month she'd have to waste instead of me buying slicks during the season LOL!!!!
I did inquire about becoming a Hoosier rep/dealer since i go through a set a month so any little bit woulda helped, but we have a few local guys too close to me so i never pursued it any further..supposed i could set up a PO box or a suite # and have them dropped ship to me, but there really is'nt much mark up/profit in tires to begin with so i just found a great guy over in Illinois to deak with for my slick needs.

Man, some nice rides in this post, 2 and 4 wheeled variety

I have had some good muscle in the past, a couple big block camaros, some LS1 power......sport bikes and the like. All I have now is this project:



It will be a 400+ cube SBC/auto/vette rear when it comes together.

And this is what I use for therapy:

Yo, FAR from a super modified car..... 1969 Merc Montego 302 auto 71k miles and daily driver in the "NON-SALT" months....

[WVU Tuba Dale]

[PowerDubs]

I guess I'll be the first VW here-

MK4 R32

AWD w/ front & rear torque biasing differentials
6-speed
3.2L (194.6 cu in) 24v DOHC 15° V6


Stock is 250hp/236tq

As she sits it dynoed aprox 330hp/300tq with chip/intake/cams/ported head/headers/cats/exhaust.

In the next couple weeks I hope to get it custom tuned adjusting a/f, ign, the variable cam timing, and the variable intake manifold.

It is no hugh power monster like some of your cars, but it is a small engine by comparison and all motor. With the Hotchkiss swaybars and Koni shocks it is fun to drive and sounds great..pulls strong to the 7300 limiter. Oh.. and it can haul a bunch of cargo and drive in any weather.

[Westtexass2k]

There some really cool cars sitting in these great garage/ shops. Here are some of the cars I have built the last 5 years or so. The Z car had a 396 big block Chevy T56. The Olive green seven is my old car that I sold last year. The Lime Green 7 is my good friends that we built in my shop for the 09 Cannonball Run where it one 1st in class and 3rd overall. The white car hanging from the ceiling is my new car underconstruction right now. It is another 7. I also have a reverse trike motorcycle underconstruction that has a Goldwing 1800 engine, but no photos of it.

[6th Gear]

Here's my heavily modified toy:

in 2000 when I bought it.






track vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmmeuXP_i6c

I started auto-xing it a few years ago and got hooked
It weighs about 1900 lbs, down from about 2300. Right now I'm in the middle of installing a t3 turbo kit I've been piecing together.
Some other mods are forged internals, head studs, 3" exhaust, stage 3 clutch, 8.5lb flywheel, LSD, 1999 Y8 Intake, Sway Bars, Subframe Brace, Tokico Coilovers, SS brake lines, 1996 HX rims w/ Azenis tires, Poly Bushings (chassis & engine mounts)

I have a Mustang too, but I'm not willing to cut into it like I did the civic...









video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgFNZhKMUbQ
The mustang is just engine bolt-ons, exhaust, shifter, and a lot of suspension

I want to get a old Bronco or K5 Blazer for my next project.

[Derald Rice]

I'll add my toys to this collection:

1984 Mustang gt350 20th anniversary car



2002 Factory Five Cobra

cobra engine with webers



Next project is a 1957 Jaguar mk1 sedan street rod

Jag will be original on outside, wire wheels, 302 ford with webers, AOD trans.

I have a Tremec 5 speed waiting to go in, pulling out the automatic. The engine is original, but some one before me blew out the original trans and replaced it with a Buick tranny. According to the vin and Pontiac Historical Services it is a real GTO, just not matching numbers. I'll be replacing the rear as well with a 3.90, and finally a disc break setup. After that some headers and then I'll start messing with the interior.

That Z is AWESOME - beautiful and cool. Would have liked to catch a ride in that!

[Westtexass2k]

The Z was fairly fast but the Ultralite S2ks make it look like a snail. The Lime green car is putting 400+hp to the wheels and weighs only 1400lbs. It will do 0-60 in 2.8 sec run the quarter in the mid 11s with street tires and pulls 1.082 lateral G on the Tire Racks 300' skid pad which is pretty well polished. Dash data logger shows spikes of 2+gs on the track on street tires. It is a real blast and gets more attention thatn any other car I have ever owned.

My new car under construction should be about 550hp to the wheels at about the same weight.

The Z car still has a special place in my heart thou. That was my first car I purchased at 16. That particular one was my 4th Z the 3rd to get engine conversion. I just cant leave stuff well enough alone.

Here is a pic of the 396 that was in the Z. z car.jpg

No the car has actually been in New Jersey all its life. According to the PHS Documentation it was sold from Cerami Pontiac in Ridgewood N.J. with final assembly coming out of Framingham Mass Pontiac plant.
There was a 67 goat on ebay about a year ago that was the twin to this one. I mean just about identical in every way.
I can't get enough of the old Goats. Hopefully I will be able to build another one.

That is stuffed into this:

[mrsleeve]

mine dose not a lot of power but I do have have a swap planed with lots of boost to fix that issue. When I am done she will have a 3.2l straight six DOHC fed with holset HX50 backed by a 6 speed gear box. On a conservative tune it should lay 450+ WHP down easily and look no different than this pic below can we say sleeper and smoke em off between the 1st 4 gears.

Bend-pak SP-7X lift.

Here is my work in progress, and my granny, I thought i'd title it a little old ladys grocery getter. It's a 69 nova that my dad bought new the year I was born. He used to drive me around in it when I would get cranky as a baby. The shaking of the car put me right to sleep. Sometimes he would just put me in the drivers seat and start it up, and i'd be out in 2 minutes.

It can be scary at some times. I keep the high boost setting at 18psi most of the time. Still making 380whp @18psi though. I also have my greddy ProfecB boost controller controlled by my left horn button so I run lower boost in 1st , 2nd then hit high boost in the higher gears. Traction is definitely a problem with 400+hp in a fwd car.

The VR6 has only a 15' V so its pretty compact.

Here are a few of the car projects that i did over the last year for friends.

Another Golf VR6 turbo build. Was a 1.8L CL golf before




c6 Corvette NOS install



The car managed a 11.9@122mph. Hasn't been out again but has more in it yet

NSX supercharger install- (dam fun car)








And the latest one thats just about done - 4 door Golf mk3 diesel to vr6 conversion

Not worthy of this thread since what I am doing is all cosmetic changes... not enough $ to put a worthy modified engine in the engine bay... but anyway:

2.4L mid 200hp all motor in a 1600lb car

chopped 4", narrowed rear 8" and full 'glass nose

[steve h]

heres my slow terd!

[Big_Grizzly]

Not a car, but it is another "mini truck"...well mini suv It's been dormant for a long time now due to the state buying my house for a new road and trying to get moved into a new location. I start my new garage very very soon Anyway here we go!

1996 S10 Blazer

The only thing still original is the body shell. Here is a rundown of the modifications completed and ongoing:

BODY
-Shaved items: handles, gas door, rear wiper, rear hatch button, antenna, wipers, hood squirters, side mirrors, roof racks, 3rd brake light, tail lights, entire rear end (welded tailgate shut; installed sheetmetal quarter panels and roll pan and all welded together), some roof seams and other small items that will probably go unnoticed

-37x70 sliding ragtop

-Rear door jambs & doors tubbed to make room for 22"s

-98+ Front fascia swap; taillights to come...

-Full hand built flat sheetmetal floor from firewall back with tubs. Gives me about 2" more headroom than stock floor.

-Shaved firewall with small tubs for front 20" wheels

CHASSIS & SUSPENSION
-Full stock floor bodydrop. Will lay the body sheetmetal flat on the ground.

-Hand made tube frame from firewall back. Built from 3"x3" 1/4" wall square tubing.

-Tranny x-member has removable center piece and square tube sections added for exhaust routing.

-Triangulated 4-link rear setup with "bag on bar" for greater lift and smoother ride.

-Air Bags are Slam Specialties RE7s on all 4 corners. (8) 1/2" valves. Haven't decided on compressors or tanks just yet. I'm leaning on a polished Sanden engine driven and a couple of 5 gallon tanks right now.

ENGINE & DRIVE-TRAIN
-Motor is a 355 SBC from a Camaro that was built part for part using an article in Car Craft to produce 440HP. I don't have the exact list of parts here right now but I do know it has an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake, a VERY nasty Comp Cam, and Vortec heads. I added a bigger carb (Holley Street Avenger 770) and a more powerful ignition system than what was on there when I bought it. Will have Hedman big tube headers and everything else I need to get it running soon.

-Transmission is a 700R4 rebuilt with all Corvette internals to hold 600HP.

-Rear end is a Ford 9" narrowed 8" on each side to fit the deep 22"s. New Moser axels fitted for S10 bolt pattern. Haven't performed a gear swap just yet...and I'm not sure of the stock gear ratio as the information plate has been removed. I do know it came out of a 60's or 70's Thunderbird.

WHEELS & TIRES
-Front: Boyd Coddington Slayer 20" x 8.5" wrapped in NITTO NT555s
-Rear: Boyd Coddington Slayer 22" x 11.5" with a 7" dish also wrapped in NITTO NT555s

INTERIOR
-Incomplete at this time. Looking for a 55 or 57 Bel Air dash. Will have vintage buckets up front and hopefully a small bench in the rear. Interior will have all vintage styling.

PAINT
-Bare sheetmetal for now. Will be a two tone satin black on bottom, heavy metallic red (nearly a burgundy) on top that sweeps back over the black with flames all pinstripped in either a silver or lilac/violet color.

OTHER OPTIONS & POSSIBLE MODS
I have a set of Fireman's Cross Harley mirrors that I was going to use but now I want something a little more sleek. I am really really really wanting to suicide the back doors however the height of the wheel tub is making that dream very difficult to come true. Exhaust will be true duals with either a pair of Flowmaster Super 40s or go old school and use a pair of Cherry Bombs. The hood will be cut to allow the motor to come through. Intake for the motor will be either a Gasser style scoop or one of the tri-hole scoops.

I know I've probably forgotten something so I'll get to posting pictures then if anything hits me I'll add it later. Enjoy!

Rendering of what it "might" look like


Cut & Smooth Firewall


Flat floor, tubs, tranny/driveshaft tunnel



BIG Ragtop


Gotta love DEEP Dish!


Frame painted with dark charcoal hammer-tone, suspension painted black



Door jamb tubbed for 22"s


On the trailer getting ready to go to a car show


At the show

I have many more pics I can post later. This truck has already been in Mini Truckin' Magazine twice and it's not even done! That was the highlight of my life...I always wanted to make it into a magazine. Also, the guys who throw the Indy Truck Bash in 2007 used my truck for their show t-shirts!

[Big_Grizzly]

And this is my daily driver.

2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie SLT 4x4

Superchips Tuner
Billet Grille swap
Black headlights & taillights swap
18x9 KMC Rockstars

3" Body Lift
Torsion Spring leveling







Of course, I wish it still looked like that. After a small collision tearing up 2 of my center caps on my wheels, a jealous idiot punching the side of my bed and leaving a fist sized dent among other tragedies it looks kind of rough. I am getting ready to start a full make over with this truck...will post details soon!

Wachuko's got some cash!!! Looks killer - you can always make it faster later!

Big Grizzler- THAT is a crap-load of work and money right there!!! Incredible build. When I saw the firewall I was questioning, but the rest is wicked. Love the raw metal work. I'm guessing you're gonna paint it like the photo?

Thanks alot! Yeah, I wish I could have posted my GOOD pictures last night...I'll have to try to find where I've stashed them and post them up.

Paint will be very close to the rendering. Several years ago Jesse James had an S10 built with a similar paint job. I'll see if I can dig up the photo. It's a satin hotrod black on the bottom with a basecoat/clearcoat finish for the top color in a very, very deep metallic red. Pinstriped with either a violet/lilac color or silver.

Also, I need to give credit where credit is due. The suspension work, ragtop install, firewall, floor and rear shaving were done by a guy in Joplin, MO by the name of Kyle Dimetroff. The engine was cleaned, painted and reassembled by a guy in El Paso, TX named Hector Gonzalez. Both guys are from the www.blazinlow.com forum. The truck was picked up by me in primer with a raw frame, raw metal interior, and no other work done. I have taken it to where it is now...which includes fixing some very bad body-filler work before the primer was sprayed. Not Kyle's fault...the shop doing the painting dropped the ball on that one

Ok those ae both fun lookin rides the Fiat should be all kinds of fun to keep on the road. I grew up hanging with a couple brothers who's dad had an old 500 and almost every weekend he would pile all of us boys in the car and take us out for a spin through the tiwsties in it . To this day I remember that thing was like a large gocart around the corners .

Thanks. It did the whole 2007 P.T. & I may do some of the 2009 P.T.

It really is a blast to drive. I just finished my GTO, but my 454SS is the toy.

Well I have had this blue Mustang LX since '89 and it has been a great car. 10 yrs ago pulled the 5.0 for a 5.8 351w EFI and big brakes w/ 18" Moda wheels. Not long past that a Vortech S-Trim was added and puts some real fun into the coupe.

Black interior, FloFit seats and a Momo steering wheel make it comfy inside. Dynomax UltraFlos add the tone to a JBA/Bassani exhaust.

Here's more on my 5.8L Mustang if anyone is interested in LX fox body Fords:

Time flies, hard to believe I have had this car 20 years now!

Scotty4130 love the Cossie !
Apparently one of those covered the 2 miles down in our village from one set of traffic lights to another, from a standing start in just 2 minutes a few years ago.
Of course we... er... someone... did it at 2am in the morning.

[PistolWhip]

Well I'm new here and I gotta start this out by saying DAAAAAYYYYMMMM!!! There are some nice ass cars and trucks running around this place

Mine doesn't really compare to some of the beautiful classics that some of you guys have, but here she is anyway.

2003 SVT Cobra in Dark Shadow Gray.
Some of the mods include a Whipple 2.3L Gen II supercharger, JLT cold air intake, complete custom fuel system, custom intercooler/aftercooler system, Steeda Sport lowering springs with all Maximum Motorsports polyurethane bushings throughout, full length sub frame connectors and MUCH, MUCH more.
The wheels are polished billet True Forged Chicanes in 18x9 and 18x10. The interior features a custom Infinity / Clarion DVD/Nav sound system without about 2000 watts of surround sound power.
So far she's gone a best of 11.1 @ 129 on BF Goodrich Radials. I am in the process of ordering a set of slicks for it so I can really see what it can do. Once I get a 10 second slip out of it, I'll be heading back down to the dyno to have a more aggressive race tune done. Then it's 10.30's or bust.
On the pump fuel tune that I currently have she made just shy of 600 RWHP and 550 RWTQ.
The car currently has about 9k miles on it and ALL of the work was done by me, in my lowly little 1 car garage. I do have to give some credit to my friends at The Streetrod Store for allot of help along the way and some very generous lift time when I needed it.









Here's one last one of my humble little garage during one of my projects on the Cobra. My compressor is actually in my basement and I ran the air lines through the sill plate. Nice and quiet out in the garage when it runs

[thefirebuilds]

Here's me at the 2008 June Sprints



You're looking at 110hp of fury. I'm embarassed to admit I probably paid more per horsepower than anyone else on the board

Slightly different but still highly different from factory

Wow! Lots of great stuff on here, with a great mix of toys.
I don't have a current project, but I'm looking around, now that the old house has sold.
Here a couple shots of one of my old ones, also see avatar, back at OCIR and then one of the Corvette that I drive now. Thinking about a 55 Chevy gasser type next though, we'll see.
