Little vid I made. This car gives me wood. Everything on it is a one off. Maybe some of the body is original.:shrug::laugh: Pics do not do it justice. If you've seen his web page then you'll know the work that went into this. He told me he is on his third engine. First threw a rod so he put in some Pauter's. The second went lean and cooked a piston I'm guessing. I'm pretty sure he's hard on it.:laugh: He hasn't dyno'd it yet but says he will soon. This is his site.

Damn thats a nice looking car. I really like what he did with the front header around the headlights. I've always wanted one of those.
 
Oh cool! I'd like to see that car inperson one day :cool:

I'd liked to have a little while to talk to him too, and pick his brain for a bit :shrug:
 
He'll never respond to any emails about the T5 adapting questions, for some reason. Though, he likes to talk about the Duratec swap.......
 
Probably wants to make $ on it on his site where he sells other goodies. I asked him if he could start the car for me and he said he was leaving in an hour. I'm like and....

Had to wait a couple hours and watch his area to see when they were packing their tent. I didn't watch that closely obviously and just happened to notice him about to leave so I ran over and shot the vid.
 
Ouch. He's seemed pretty nice via email. Though, I guess when you have a pretty sweet/unique car like his, sometimes one might get a little tired of getting people who would like a little added info about it. (They should take a break from shows, but that's just MHO)

If someone were to sell that adapter plate, a few people would be starting on some pretty interesting projects around here. I sent a request through their 'request a product' link :shrug:
 
yeah if he would sell that adapter plate, i'm pretty sure my brother would own one really quick. He wants to do a 3L turbo swap into a 77 toyota corolla that he owns and make it into a sleeper.

that'll be a first... you should have seen all the ones that were there at Carlisle, im guessing maybe 100+ of them jus THERE. only maybe 20 give or take a few that were seriously painted and done up nice.

I served my mission down there where he lives and had the opportunity to talk to him a little bit and see it, it wasn't 100% done at the time, but it was still awesome. he's quite the ford guy with a CSVT and a SHO as DD's.
 
That car looks amazing, it doesn't sound like a duratec at all form the video.. mad props to him for all that custom work.

I bet it scoots like crazy. :drool:
