This is a customer's car I have been working on for a while we unveiled it at the show. Still some more work to go but come a long ways

Looks like a death trap with those twins on there but a fun one at that. I like it.

I'm digging the coolant overflow. Id leave that body just like that.

[bgblockelcamino]

the body is staying like that, it started out as a 38 ford truck cab. customer had a frame made and body mounted and turned into a roller. I have done essentially everything else. the grille shell was from a tractor I widen with brass sheeting. twin ebay turbos I mounted on 2010 Camaro exhaust manifolds. stock 5.3 with holley intake th400 behind it and a ford crown vic rear end out of a car I scrapped. someone in ohio made the bed but not sure who. It is essentially running but fuel pump quit the day of show. I had it running NA before the turbo build. so hopefully will be driving this spring. But a shop full of cars I have lot of cool and neat projects going on at the moment lol.

Do you have any past experience with the ebay turbos? If so, did you have any luck with them?

[bgblockelcamino]

Have used on3 with good luck so far. These were cheap and as you can see easy to get to when it craps out lol. But honestly looks like a nice piece but will give my final verdict in after there is extended run time on these. seems like they have come a long ways in quality control but like I said till I have real run time I will give final verdict. This is a cheap junkyard motor so if anything happens we are not out a whole lot of money. I would personally have a hard time with something of expensive motor. or tight engine bay that is a pain to work on. This is more less my version of a Sloppy Mechanics type build and hoping for best. This was moreless for wow factor that the customer wanted, not really looking for performance as much as wow factor and burnouts lol
