Anyone follow Chop Cut Rebuild on here? That cuda reminded me of the car they're building on there now. It's a 72 Duster with a 6.1 hemi and a TCI 6 X transmission. so far it looks just like that cuda.

Is a 34 Ford with a top fuel engine wild enough??

And yes, it still fits under the hood!!

If that's not crazy enough, how about this failed attempt of an Allison V12 in a semi!?!?

The only reason it became a failed attempt was the idea came to late in the build to modify things I had already finished.

But someday....... :lol:

Insanty never comes too late

I'm guessing you mean my comment on someday actually dropping that Allison in a semi!?!?

If you think that's insane, the community build me and two friends were all building (and never finished) rigs for were all putting Allisons in our rigs and that was the reason mine failed. They came up with the extra engine for me after I had the interior almost finished and the body and frame completely painted, and I wasn't going to redo the truck just to make the engine fit. Oh, and did I mention the "Boss" of our fantasy company was going to have TWO Allisons powering his rig!! :o:huh::blink:
