    Put some 4.10's in it, without a bigger cam and better heads these engines are turds, need lots of gearing to get it to move decent. I'd say 3.55 for stock tire height so for those I'd go 4.10 and not look back. I'm sure the 5spd helps a lot but the extra gearing will help it live too.

    Btw video of start-up, idle and small revs are required, possibly dark to watch flames shoot out

      I don't think he comes around here too often, I wish he would. It'd be great to see what he's done to the car and more pictures.

      It pissed me off that Roadkill didn't buy that thing. But they're right, it's just about finished.

      That is how you're supposed to jack it.

      Up and down.

        I see great potential for this! I don't normally like stuff like this. But for some reason. it just looks right!

          This thing is badass! My dad used to have a jacked up late 70's Camaro. I loved that thing so much, but it was such a pile of shit. lol

          I like the idea of buying a donk and making it into something like this. Might save it some dignity.

                +1 Roadkill is epic stuff.

                  I've seen all of them up until 30. I usually wait for a few episodes to come out and then catch up. It is an excellent show.

                        The roof rack is cut down from a Chevy mini van. The roof basket is a Thule.
