Project CIII

Started working on one of Dad's projects that he didn't finish...

I'll just leave these pics here....  

That has an unmatched level of coolness. I can't wait until you have it finished Mike.

It's not going to be "racecar", as I'm not sure the cage will certify.
Just going to be a "street" play toy... to start with...  

Saaaaaaweeeeeeet!

Looks like a definite wheelstander!

Oh yeah that is sooooo cool !!! I always liked those body style Capri's. Whats with the sudden surge of blown small blocks???? Doesn't matter it is awesome!! Keep us up to date !!!

DAMN, the blower is bigger than the engine! You know that car is going to need a cool name, race car or not.

Dad actually had written across the deck lid in grease pencil..... " The Midnight Stranger"... it's faded real bad , so it doesn't show in pictures

Sweet ride should be a good time, is that freelander's motor in the background in the picture

Actually no, it's not..
That one is a fuel injected 5.0 Dad built for his other project, the 64 Ranchero, it's never been fired.
Freelander's engine is sitting just out of camera rage to the right of both of mine..

Bump for a progress report

No progress yet.... Had to get dirt car motor done and dragster ready to race...

BUT, motor parts ready for balancing..
Now if I could get this other heap of parts out of my way....  

Bump for the sake of bumping...  

Not much progress to report.. Been doing the bodywork on the '64 Ranchero...  

Rotating assembly will go to machine shop in next 2 weeks.
Will get basic engine put together and run-in on the engine stand.
Then I'll finish / fab the blower drive.

Still have some front suspension things I need to work out..

Wow that's way beyond cool!!!! Why do I think of Mad Max when I see these pics???

Double Post???? Stupid 'puter!!!!

I have seen the little car in person it should be a wicked little ride for sure. Back about 30 years ago my ex sister in-law's brother had one that was orange with a 289 with a 4 speed in it that thing was a blast but he lost control one night and totaled it out in the rain. He could get on it at 60mph and it would light up the tires.

Stop eating all those cookies and get something done on this car!

Been working on the Ranchero and RACING !!! Something you won't be doing much longer.

Might be a slight change in engine for car, could be using a blown cleveland ....

And the cookies were great.. too bad you didn't get any....
