Check with grundy. My buddy drives his 60 chevy all the time.He has got insured for 30,000 and he pays like 450 a year.Check with your state laws before you swap vin tags. I know in illinois it is not legal. TRUST ME ! If you do swap tags you need special rivits to put it back on. Oh yeah if it is against the law in florida and you do swap tags . Do not post anything on this or any website. I know its a little late.good luck . By the way. Your car looks killer:biggrin:

thanks for the compliments. I have alot of pictures that I can't seem to fit on this website. It must be the format that they were originally taken in. The pictures I already posted were taken by the appraiser, with his camera. I will try to post some more.

performance

I have'nt had time to take the car to a dyno or anything, + I want to put in a tighter tranny. My tranny is slipping and I see some dark material in the otherwise red fluid. I did have a chance to run against a stout car last night, and I thought I'd share it with you. I ran against a newer GTO about 5 times. I would get him at the start, then we would be door to door until about 80mph, then he would pull away from me every time. I was making 20lbs of boost with no knock, and the car was hooking up real well. I stopped and talked to the guy afterwards, and he explained that he has the twin turbo set-up with alcohol injection that is available for that car. He said that 1st and 2nd gear is about useless in his car, (which is why I was getting him off the line). I know he was probably making obscene amounts of horsepower with that thing. I don't mind losing to a car like that, I guess. It was fun for both of us.

thanks

Thanks for the props. I just put a better tranny in it with all PTS extreme parts and torque converter. I also put in a transbrake that I bought from Bryan Hofer. This made the car even faster. Now that I'm not losing alot of power in the tranny, I want to get it dynoed. As soon as I do, I will post the results. Here's the performance recipe: Kenne Bell ported iron heads
ported intake
38lb injectors
hotwired pump
TA-49 with a precision exhaust
ported exhaust elbow
3 inch down pipe
no cat and 3 inch single exhaust
Duttweiler necked intercooler
SMC alcohol injection-progressive
Turbotweak chip

Took 2nd at Nats

I took 2nd place in my class:biggrin: at this years Nationals. I drove it the 850+ miles to get there. Spent 7 hours detailing it. I average about 20 miles per gallon with the AC on the interstate- no problems, reliable.

seen the car and got to meet you out in the grassy parking lot at BG....very nice car......i didn't even know you built this.....cool

 

[ULOSE2A6]

Met you at the Nats as well. Your car is beautiful and most of all you drove it there. My brother Dave and I are good friends with Ed that drove up with you. We used to race at Moroso with Ed all the time when he was on the east coast. Tell him I said hi and congrats again on the car.

P.S. I remember you were going to weigh it at the scales there in BG. I had a guess of 3250 lbs; was I close?
