Convette Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 haha yeah sorry guys super slacking on updates. Heres some pics of it all finished up. I was finally able to capture the win at the Ultimate Street Car Association Fontana event. The new wheels and tires are nothing short of amazing. I can honestly say now that it is one of the fastest street cars in the country. Going back to SEMA now, for another shot at the title, I know what I need to do to win, right now its just the time and the money to get me there. Most importantly moar POWER! http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG2148_zpsb26a0438.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/DSC_3459_zps3f828a21.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/DSC_3397_zpsbb1f43fd.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/DSC_3432_zps02ba9ada.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/DSC_3488_zps97d9afd6.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/DSC_3527_zps26a3e741.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I've been under the impression you drive this car on the street a fair amount. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I drove on the street everyday, (daily driver) until a few months ago when I started doing the fenders. I drove it work today actually. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would would be a real shame if a run of the mill fender bender ruined so much hard work. Although you could rebuild it with all the updates you've thought of since you built it last.

Convette Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Unbelievable ride man.Thanks dude! Its almost where I want it!It's great that it's not a trailer queen but I wouldn't't blame you for trailering it to the events. It would would be a real shame if a run of the mill fender bender ruined so much hard work. Although you could rebuild it with all the updates you've thought of since you built it last. The ideas never stop flowing.....Yeah I hear you. I am literally the most cautious driver when I take it out. I dont always trailer it, actually only a few time since I started racing it, but it is good peace of mind knowing getting home wont be a big deal. Anything can be fixed. congrats on the win! definite work of art!Thanks man.Now we need molds made of those fender sets, so we can buy bolt-ons !!!I'd be down for a setI'm working on it. Trying to get a place to get set up so I can start a production run of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
