eviltwincustoms Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I had to take a second look. Just a quick glance it looked like a real block sitting their waiting to go into a build. If you had that block mounted to a block stand it could easily pass as being a 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowe-t Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 This is insane! It really looks dead on to a 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp1839 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 thanks for asking bart. everything is fine here. i'm trying to get all my ducks in a row for the new 1:1 project. lot's to get handled in a short amount of time. it'll be some good times i'm sure.

eviltwincustoms Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Sweet that is good to hear. I would really like to hear more about your 1:1 project. So the original owner wouldn't go for throwing in the 900+ cubic inch Pat Musi motor with the deal huh? I will have to keep an eye out for possible updates on your major project.

comp1839 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) bart, here's the deal. rich shainline put his '37 chevy pro mod up for sale. the guys at precision worked their butts off to come up with a win - win deal for rich and myself. i can't begin to thank rich, jim and doug for the effort they went through to make this deal happen. anyway, i'm going to be purchasing the car. i'm just finishing up all the loose ends on my deal to get the money together to buy it. the bank now officially is in the soul acquisition business. as far as the 903 pat musi motor. i only wish i could afford it! hehe. the thing makes incredible power. the car is going to be transformed into a (excuse me as i clear my throat, ahem) street car. it will live out the rest of it's life without the brutality of 3000h.p. spanking it. here are some shots of the car: i will be removing the aero nose and replacing it with a more stock looking unit.

Old Sprinter Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 WOW, WOW, WOW. I have never seen anything like that in my life. What a great car, Dave. I need that !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Ok....it's all falling into perspective now..................... That "scale motor" you've been posting, is REALLY out of the 37, ain't it??? No, seriously....you have no idea how much I have missed this stuff from you Dave. I am so pleased to finally get back and see some truly amazing work being handed to us by one of the best guys out there. Thanks mate. GREAT work securing your new "street car" too......that will be wild, and another amazing build to watch evolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
