Hello, I got in touch with Austin and Alan about a couple of issues and Austin told me the best place for a 3rd gen road racer would be here...
I first want you guys to know about the car better. I bought it in 2007, when I was in collage, I am a Mechatronics Engineer. I build the car on my own in my garage. I've put 12 bolt chevy with 3.91 and trutrac lock, tremec tko 600 with overdrive 5 (0.82), single plate clutch, and a 502 ram jet engine... the first build: (IMG:http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/838/fz7n.jpg) (IMG:http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/839/ai0u.jpg) (IMG:http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/843/e33qj.jpg) (IMG:http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/834/qzcl.jpg) And than, I realize thet the suspension is not enough for my goal, which lead me to change the a arms to adjustable del rin ones, up front I started to use weigh jacks with 900lb/in with koni yellows, QA1 douvle adjustables with coil over spring rate 220lb/in. I relocate the LCA and Panhard Bar. I was having trouble with the fuel when car turns in real quick (with the stock fuel tank and pump) Then I had engine problems and use the car with the old 305 on the same suspension setup but before that here how the car was looking...

Cool project. Definitely unique running a big block. Any idea how much the car weighed with the big block in there? I can just imagine how rough it is getting parts to Turkey. I have the benefit of U.S. military mail here in Sicily and it's still a pain getting parts. When you were in the military, did you ever visit the NATO base in Sicily? We get Turkish troops visiting every so often.
