I am having the project undertaken by a company in Canada. The company sponsors Dream Car Garage and Sports Car Revolution on the Speed Channel. I was up there last week for the first time since the project began 9 months ago. They are amazing artists and so mechanically apt its hard to comprehend. Their work makes it look as the car came of the assembly line like it is.

I am having the project undertaken by a company in Canada. The company sponsors Dream Car Garage and Sports Car Revolution on the Speed Channel. I was up there last week for the first time since the project began 9 months ago. They are amazing artists and so mechanically apt its hard to comprehend. Their work makes it look as the car came of the assembly line like it is.

To start with, they installed an entirely new running gear, front to back. This includes and brand new LS7 Corvette engine from the new Corvette Z06 rated at over 500 hp out of the box. We tried to use the new Hemi 6.1 liter from Chrysler but Chrysler could not make it ready for us this year so I substituted. Sorry. Next they put a highly modified state-of-the-art Porsche 6 speed manual trans axel in with all new running gear including 13 in rotors up front and 14s in the back. The car is lowered by 1.5 inches front to back with fully adjustable four corner suspension. We are using Wilwood 6 piston calipers up front along with 4 piston in back. The nose will be customized by removing the protruding chin. Despite the good looks of the chin as it is, I wanted it a bit different if you know what I mean. The back will be modified as well. We are installing a completely new interior through-out with Connolly leather on the dash and elsewhere, including new seats and stereo. I am shooting for completion by the Hot Rod Power Tour in early June. I will provide further updates as warranted.
