When we bought this car it already had a few changes from stock and since I have always wanted to build a hot rod it was a good candidate for an extreme makeover. The drivetrain consist of a full roller 383 stroker with all the best parts from the big name companies, TCI Street Fighter TH400 tranny and 3.73 rear gears. I rebuilt the entire suspension with poly bushings, VBP Advanced Street System, all parts powder coated and several other aftermarket parts to make it go around corners like its on rails. I removed all of the heat and A/C components. This allowed me to move the battery to the engine compartment, provided room under the dash for all of the necessary new wiring and room for a killer stereo system to overpower the nasty loud exhaust. The one piece firewall is just one of several parts that were fabricated by myself or a couple of friends. It was a lot of fun but the several challenges earned it the nickname "Monster". It's a blast to drive and a real head turner when people hear it coming.
