Well, I guess it's time I let her go

Hehe, it's not NOS. I could have put NOS in it, but I use that big tank when I go to shows to play around with the cylinders (I don't use airbags to make it move around/go up and down), so it's a tank I fill up with either Helium or just air. It has a built in compressor if the tank runs empty, but I normally keep the tank full.....and in the floor board. I'm too lazy to take it out haha!

Don't discount 5 hp. Its like 5 extra 1,000lb beasts hauling your butt down the strip.

But you would be amazed what you can get out of a good block with the right pistons and heads.

I do see the appeal and recognize the work and effort you put into that car though. Still, I think you won't get your $$ back, but none of us really do I guess anyway.

Oh I know I won't get anywhere near my money back for it hehe, but something is better than nothing.

I remember putting a 454 in my friend's truck when we were teenagers.....holy mother. You could literally watch the gas gauge go from full to empty or simply be going down the road at 60 MPH, stomp the gas and burn out. Was a lot of crazy fun.

[RTR]

454...yep!

Had a few cars that it was a race between the speedo and the gas gauge!

A couple...66 Chevelle and 79 TA, I swear the seatbelt was only there to keep you in the front seat when you pushed on the gas pedal! LOL

Had a Barracuda for a while, and although not as quick as the Chevelle or TA, it was by far the biggest chick magnet.

Kinda miss that old Barracuda.

My God I swear that's the truth.

First time I ever sat in a car with one tossed in it, I nearly crapped my pants. All I heard was "Check this out" then suddenly I sunk into the seat, heard screaming tires, saw and smelled smoke and what felt like extra G's being pulled.  

[RTR]

heh...welcome to the dark side.

Soon you will be poor like the rest of us old Grandpappy types

To me, that screams "ricer"

[MarineUS]

To me, that screams "ricer"

Ricers are cars that some poor SOB has "modded up" (a fart can and cheap spoiler) then runs around goin' "My car would smoke yours" then runs from the ability to race.

I built this girl to look beautiful, break necks, get money and trophies. All of which she does.
You'd probably fit into the group who left this one my car while I was at work one night:

thats funny......

personally I am a MOPAR fan and don't like that thing in the slightest, but I will say you did a good job putting it together

Lol, yeah I busted out laughing when I read it. They were all sitting on their trucks, eyeballing me as I walked out across the parking lot. It was 1:15 AM and I was working at Wal*Mart after being done with Active Duty. They didn't think I understood who did it. I walked over to the car, looked at the napkin, looked at them, waved, got in the car, started it, flipped on the police strobes and made her "dance" then drove off lol.

i appreciate good workmanship, and its always good to get what you want out of the car...


but the mercedes emblems? that i don't get.

FML.....this thing just highlighted and erased everything I had typed..........

Let's try this again...

The Mercedes emblems are all off of old/wrecked/scrapped Mercedes (like my police strobes in the headlights and taillights - they came off a wrecked cruiser). The outside was custom made to match a modded Mercedes.

It's neat seeing a Mercedes on the outside but climbing into an Integra.

Plus as far as I've ever been able to tell, no one has ever come close to what I've done. They've slapped some fake emblems on, but never bothered changing the ENTIRE look of the car.

It looks pretty cool.

I don't see why people have this overwhelming need to run down other people's stuff.

Here's a concept, if you don't like it then stay your effing donut out of the thread!!!

I usually expect something like this when I see an import show car.

Heh, I don't have the cash to do stuff like that. Someone with a butt load of money got a hold of that car.

My car was made by a guy in a trailer park on minimum wage and a dream that wanted to achieve it before he was in his 40's.
