Looks cool cant wait to see more!

Thanks Dave,This one may take awhile but i will post as i progress...

That's just pretty right there! Small cowl hood twin turbo car perhaps?

Thank you too Fred,I like your thinking.I will look into the turbo idea.

turbos would be the way to go for a modern pro streeter. I prefer the obnoxious whine and poor visibility of a roots type blower, but that's just me. going to be a killer car whichever way you go. will be watching for sure. cant miss with a pro street car.

Still not sure on the turbo set up as i don,t have a clue on how to plumb them up.I love blowers though!

go all auss style a big 14/7 blower siting obnoxiousy high out of hood and big bad shot gun scope on some carbs

Good idea,but i want it to look more like a street "ish" car...

I vote for a turbo car as well. I'm sure no matter what route you take, it'll be cool.

Thanks Jason....

A great start. Looking forward to more.

Thank you Dave a small update on the cage...

I vote for the twin turbo set up as well.... there's plenty of online images of setups that you should be able to put one together that would look great! I know there are some US based companies that offer resin turbos and intercooler sets. Here's a pic of a friend of mines 1:1 '61 Impala Pro Touring car that has a 2000+ horsepower twin turbo Moran Racing engine in it..... This will be similar to how I'm going to do my version of a 1;25 ProTouring '69 Nova.

Having grown up around these, in stock form and wild form, I will be watching this build very closely.

With all that bar work and tubbed rear end, I would look brilliant with a 14/71 hanging out of that hood.

Great start on it too.
