Toying around with the Matador today, wondering about slapping twin turbos on that Viper V10. I figure it's not going to clear the stock hood anyway, so why not?

Got the stance dialed in, not sure on those wheels, though.

Yes the stance looks great Chuck!
The rims, well...maybe if you sanded down the outer diameter to allow the centers to fit some Pegasus sleeves...yeah!
Give them some depth

The size is about right, and I'll probably use those tires, but it's the design of the wheel I don't care for. I do have some Viper wheels around here somwhere, I might end up using those.

I agree, I'm not crazy about the wheels. The stance is perfect.

i agree wheels take away from the look, but stance is right on..different strokes for different folks, as long
as the builder likes it thats all that matters

Bodywork has begun- '10 Corvette taillamps are roughly grafted into place at this point.

Engine bay is mostly there, at least roughed in. Those empty areas in front of each inner fender may be filled with twin turbos eventually.

Looks good. I have to say I've never had much luck getting the hood to fit on that kit, either.

I was hoping somebody would jump in with a Pacer.
Now somebody grab a Gremlin and we'll be officially underway.
I grabbed a Gremlin! ...but it bit me untill I let it go. And now I think I might have rabbies

Might take a break from the Matador for a bit- just means I'll have to blow the dust off the '61 Rambler or crack open the '59.
