But wait…….thats the wrong color blue!……

……….What’s this about?  We have a very special drive train coming together.  Going into a 23′ Birchaven it’s entire front and rear suspension have all been powder coated…..you guessed it candy blue sapphire……..and this Monster tranny special built….and painted to translate power from this eventually forced induction fuel system (supercharged/ turbo ?!???)and our old motor stand will go back in service as a build stand and initial testing of this soon to be 8 pack of rockets.

Digging the wheeled 66 Toro front clip, a hard Jenny wash and dealing was a mustit’s good to see our old ground pounder stand come back to use.  A coat of POR-15 and it’s ready for service.stay tuned, of course the normal stuff will be fitted…..serpantine belt system, FiTech fuel injection, aluminum off shelf radiator etc but then are we doing turbos, a blower….2 blowers?  This guy wants it all!  Won’t THIS be fun!  Finally our Kryptonite cam will get some air!  Woot…woot…….Oh yeah, and to get all that where the rubber will attempt to tear up the road…..that’s a super custom built Applied 4:10 limited slip diff.  Yowza!!!!!!  What else to say but stay tuned…..Had a request for an original tranny pan.  Also if you’re missing the bracket from the alternator swingarm bolt to the intake manifold there’s news, we’ve reproduced that bracket which keeps you alternator from pulling forward on acceleration, that’s 1 in the above pic……….Another Honda EV-6010 IS now installed.  No more sweet talking the Onan remote panel hoping Gulum the Troll reacts …..thus…..one…..more….time……..  We now have POWER!

.a rare pic, one roller motor coming out of Mutcedes and another going in……The beat rocks on…….……..   We’ll see ya tomorrow.…….
