Wow, haven't talked to you guys in forever. I'm probably going to cruise out that way for the Hot Rod Power Tour in June. You and George should plan to cruise a few cities. I sold my Supra a while back and bought a Challenger, I'll be driving that. It would be great to meet up with you guys...

I figured that I would post this here, because I really don't want to ship this. I recently sold my MKIII, but still have this hood project. Any chance someone wants to finish it? I have all the materials to finish it, you'll just need someone to tack weld it, then bondo it all smooth. The...

Looking great as usual. I recently sold my MKIII, but still have this hood project. Any chance you want to finish it? I have all the materials to finish it, you'll just need someone to tack weld it, then bondo it all to smooth it. The bottom is a photoshop of what the finished hood will look...

Thanks for the compliments guys. I really hope that a Supra enthusiast ends up buying my car. I'm open to offers, don't really want to see it go on EBAY. This post says it all, building these cars are expensive as hell if you can't do the wrench work yourself. Also on the original topic...

Top wheel for sure, looks a lot more race.

"a new model after every doctor’s visit"................... that's awesome. Beautiful car, amazing photography, great story, you should be very proud!

That looks great, best alternative yet. My Bomex is ridiculously low.

That doesn't make any sense about the headbolts holes. Are the threads stripped? Whenever rebuilding a block, you need to chase all of the threads to clean them so that you'll get proper torque readings. Are you refering to the holes in the head? If that's not lining up, more than likely your...

You never answered the question. From the best that I can tell, it looks like you ran the outlet of the catch can back to the throttle body, which would definitely be your problem. There is a check valve in that port, therefore when you're boosting, it shuts that port off, then you're building...

Where does the hose from the throttle body run too? Where I have the label "to turbo inlet" is where the catch can should be located. At low RPM's the system should flow through the TB and bypass the can.

I bought one a few years back from Champion Toyota. Also bought all of the decals under the hood.

You do realize that the engine is out of it? Yeah, a little fuzzy.

Cool thread, can't wait to check it out. I'll see you around Austin sometime. -Lance

It's DEFINITELY one of my favorites of all time. This is a cool thread, spent my entire lunch hour going through it all. That story on Sofro is really cool, his car was a huge inspiration for me when I built mine. Keep the progress pictures coming. -Lance

Removing the stock twin on an engine stand is enough of a PITA, I can't imagine what you went through. Very cool car, nice job............... Oh yeah, paint the wheels white though, those just look all kinds of wrong.................something like this perhaps ---------- Post added at 12:12...

Very cool build thread, can't wait to see it finished.

Looking awesome Jon, I love following this project.

Those are awesome Jon, that's going to be badass. If you care to make molds of those, go see Kevin at the Z Clinic, he can make them.

Go to a Semi Truck parts house in your area, they have really good Busch polish and sealant, or just order it here. http://www.flynndist.com/products/busch-aluminum-wax-and-sealant

Even WD40 will work well.
