Very nice work! That engine compartment is gonna look sick!! Vice grips are your friend
What engine/trans/rear end is going in it?

 

[Wildbill3]

Vise grips for SHure!!Its getting our super nice engine/tranni out of the Daytona 408/TKO600+ we have a new Curri rear 9" housing with revalvable coilovers off a freinds ASA car we have a chance to get his RoadRace tranni from Roush but I would need to sell the TKO since thers only about 175 miles on its 6 one way and half a dozen the other.I have been doing the brake lines this week incorperating Brake gauges and a proportioning valve keeping it all behind the dash exept the valve by my seat.With the cowl off its cool becuase I can get to everything easily woohhooo!:Track:

thanks man that is sweet! i may one day end up doing something similar! just got to learn a little more about the geometry and such!

 

[Wildbill3]

Thanks man, Im just an ol racer from the midwest that isnt Skeeerd to try something a little different I run it by my other racing Buddy at Hollers Hotrods and he gives me advise on whats sound he can really buildm from the ground up.Here is the truck he just finished for himself ....Enjoy

Yes those are twin BB Chevy 502's sweeeeet!

 

[firemansam]

HOLY CRAP! that thing must be a beast!

 

[5.0W/5.0]

Thats a sick truck! I haven't seen anything like that before.

 

[pyroman]

Wow your car is coming along very nicely. Those brakes! Man, massive amounts of cooling going on there. What are you building it for? Looks to be an all out racer, but what kind? Are you doing some kind of series racing?

 

[Wildbill3]

Leroy Holler builds some Aaassoome stuff his advise is highly valued.We do the Annual RunNGun its open to vintage and late model Mustangs and Camero's this year like the ol Trans am deal we will run it on road corses here in the midwest.We ran Hallet last year and with a stock 13" Cobra rotor I was boiling the 570f willwood brake fluid in 4 laps thats no fun at all Sooo this is the upgrade .In the past Tha RUNNGUN Nationals event has been for Kit cars When we had the Daytona Coupe we ran it 4 years bringing home a lot of great memories and trophies, check it out at Runngun.net.The brakes are Stock car style that will fit under 15" wheels but ther a Huge highly vented rotor that uses and alum hat really not that expensive about 150$ per corner for rotors and hats thats fairly low considering how well they brake its a 1.125 setup on front with .810 in back,im hoping it helps the Mustang it's heavyer than the Daytona im not shure how much yet havent scaled it.
