Track day

Nice pic from the last track day

Cheetha!

A new project underway from some friends of mine. Very rare car, although almost everyone had it as a toy back in the day. Early sixties Bill Thomas Cheetah, this one being one of a small batch of  continuation series cars made to the exact specs of the original cars. It will be equipped with a period correct 327 chevy small block, a fourspeed manual and Corvette underpinnings. Shouldn't weigh much more than 1500 pounds when done...

Enginework

Work is progressing on the new all aluminum big block for the Cuda. Got the crank in to measure the tolerances and it checked just fine!

Corvette

 I've been doing some work on a C 3 Corvette a friend recently bought. 1972 model year, ZZ3 crate small block and an automatic. It was repainted some time ago in the original elkhart green and sports a saddle tan interior. The car needed Brakes, nwe wheels and a few odds and ends.

 Now it also has an austrian registration and is ready for the coming season.

To the office

Somedays I just love to commute !

In the Trunk

Some news in the trunk of the 'Cuda. I got a lighter racing battery, relocated to the rear for better weight distribution. The trick aluminum cover is a replacement for the stock piece for looks only! 

Big Cubes

The hemi-valvecovers are gone and there's room for the next project. An all-aluminum 572 inch wedge motor. Currently I'm collecting the necessary bits and pieces, hope to have it all together by summer. :-)

OlyCharger in Le Mans

Had a great time at the Le Mans Classic race last weekend. The biggest vintage racing event worldwide hosted a number of classic racecars, among them one mopar Nascar barge made ist impression. The  Charger originally raced Le Mans in 1976 and Christophe Schwartz is bringing it back to the Sarthe in ist classic Olympia Beer livery. Powered by an original 426 Hemi from 1969 the Charger is geared to rund 260 kilometers per hour on the Mulsanne straight.

'70 Lineup

The sassygrass green 1970 Cuda is nearing completion. Some friends have been working on it, bringing it back into beautiful shape . Fresh immaculate paint, new interior,a stroked bigblock and a 727 trans are ready to hit the road.

On the road again

Back on the streets after a long winter. The weather has been good to us here lately so I decided to take the 'Cuda out as soon as it got done. Driving the five speed offers a whole new experience, a wonderful upgrade to enhance the sporty character of the car. I'm looking forward to a great season !

Dash

Done with the dash project of changing the speedometer to kilometers per hour. Still have to hook up the oil temp. gauge I installed. 

Metric System

Getting the new speedo ready for the 'Cuda. The old 120 mp/h mark equates to 200 Kilometers which of course sounds much faster :-)
