The "runaway project". This car originally started out with plans to be a smallblock street machine. And then one day, Scott happened to come across a 454 big block, and the rest, well, is history. *grin* He got a litttttle carried away.

Estimated E.T. with the 454 engine to be in the mid 11 second range. Eventually hope to be in the 9's. Future engine upgrade plans include 500+ cu.in. with blower. No matter the speed, it WILL see daylight under the front tires when it launches. So says Scott!


The above photo shows the ORIGINAL concept for this car. As you can see above though, we'll have to make a NEW digital concept to show what it will eventually end up looking like. hehehe I think about the only thing staying the same will be the paint/decal concept.
