Made some pretty good progress on the '93 Supra. This is the newest car I've ever built.

Painted the shocks, swaybars and control arms Eibach blue.

Had to shave the hubs on all the wheels, then shave the steering knuckles AND the hubs on the front rotors to make the tires clear.

Anyone else still working on theirs?

I've finished the engine, I think. Interior is almost done.

The valve cover looked better in person. I tried it without masking the plug cover-majig. I think I need to get one of those magnifiying visor things.

These are not the best pics, but this is a '52 Hudson Hornet built in a sort of '60's/'70's "Saturday Night Special" style. According to some old-time racers in my area, guys were still running Hudsons into the mid '80's, though by then a lot of them had been repowered. I'm sticking with the 308 for this version, though.

Here's the Pacer drift car I'm doing for the Cannonball CBP. Using the AMT twin turbo 2JZ. I know there are better versions of the engine, but this is what I had on hand. Corvette front suspension and stock rear springs with a Ford 9 inch, traction and panhard bars. I've hit a snag on what color to paint it, which would dictate what color to paint the interior, so I'm sort of stuck.

Plugged a Deora Slant Six into the '80 Plymouth Volare- still some work to do, but it's mostly roughed in. And yes, I know the alternator is on the wrong side for this year/car, but it's a cobbled up junkyard beater, so I'm letting myself have a little wiggle room.
