im please with how the car worked but i know it can go way faster then what it did.
car still needs alot of work all around.
pics and video

i have more pics but im not going slam the thread full with them

Damn... can't believe it's been that long.

Good to see you are still whoopin on it. lol

BTW... it went straight when I had it.

The "YUL LOSE" tag is now hanging on the back of a Vette.
I just cannot believe the power of these LS motors when they are boosted.

 

[meaclez]

ya put qa1 shocks all the way around so it took a few passes to work it out...

ya that vette is dirty.

 

[bhasmer12]

300k miles and she's still kickin'... Gotta' love these Ls motors! You can try your hardest to blow 'em up, but they won't give up without a fight.

 

[meaclez]

[bhasmer12]

[Black Power]

[Squid4life]

Looks great, real beast for sure!

 

[meaclez]

its john deere blitz black. nothing special.
just got back from milan dragway car

made about 7 passes then something let go in the rearend or something bent car was out of shape and almost touch the wall, thought it might of just spun the tires since it was getting colder out, but it felt really odd driving it down the return road.
here are some pictures from the track

 

[Squid4life]

Love the launch pics! Hope it is an easy fix, whatever is broke. Very cool car brother. Love the JD Blitz Black too; that is what covers my engine bay right now.

 

[meaclez]

ya we are going to take a good look at it this week

 

[meaclez]

video from my last pass

around the 2 min mark is when i make the pass

I don't know, looks pretty good to me. Very.......sinister. I dig it. Makes me second guess the plans I had for my own. The plan is to paint mine myself, but from what I've heard/read to make flat-black really look good is pretty difficult so I'm kinda' scared to undertake something such as that on my first painting attempt.

Well alright! I may very well be stealing this idea then. I don't like the idea of having something the same as somebody else so I'll change it up a bit and add some "me" to it. Now is this actually a John Deere paint that I can order from them?

 

[meaclez]

yes, its a john deere paint i went to a dealer and they had it in stock

 

[Squid4life]

They sell it in a rattle can or in a Quart IIRC. The rattle can sprays better than just about any other can paint I have used. Comes out in a nice pattern and very consistent. Love the matte finish!

Oh, cool. I'll keep that in mind. I'll probably shoot it with a gun, but might pick up a rattle-can or 2 just in case I need to do some touching up later on or for whatever interior pieces I may or may not spray to match.
