I like how you smashed in the valve covers for clearance.
Badass.

Badass! That steering wheel makes me want to vomit, but the rest of the car is awesome.

Yea, I got it for free and never got around to buy a nice one. Free is better than cheap though.

that bitch is nice! Is that the same turbo from off the duramax diesel? A chrome grill and 20's would make that bitch look perfect. then again, you'd be going thru rear tires like a mother ******

I'm not sure what an Hx50 originally comes on, I thought maybe a freightliner or a diesel volvo, I got it from Ebay. I'm not looking to win car shows with this car. I am going to get rid of the skinnys' and put a regular size rim on there when I change the gear ratio in the rear to drive it at normal rpms' on the highway. There is a Maaco up the road from me that I will send it to so that they can shoot it fast and get rid of the rust spots. I just want a 11 or 10 second car with a 15 foot paint job that I can take out on the weekends.

Will do once I get the wideband to tune it.
