    So with SEMA slowly approaching we have had Redfox Nathan's car here for going on it's second week and it progressing nicely. I have managed to get the engine and suspension buttoned up and we were waiting on an SFI flex plate but the deadline is closing to fast so we will have to throw the stock on in for now. Nathan has posted several photo's in his photobucket which can be viewed here http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y28...0Build 2008/
    the password is redfox. for those who don't have time to look through that I will post the high points here.

    Oh and after careful consideration we decided to go with a trunk mounted fuel cell. This sparked a very heated debate on the other "LX" forum but I bet you will all appreciate it here.

    Looking good John/Nathan. Lots of work has been done in a very short time. Props.


    Hey, in the last picture, is that a 64/65 (?) Chevelle or Nova? It looks Beeautiful.

    Ron thats the other SEMA car we are building it's a 64 Chevelle with a twin torbo LS series engine. I'll post some pics of that one here too.

    I would have thought the first question I would have recieved in this thread would have been "Did you cut his floor out?"

    lol I have read the thread on LXF. It is not my business as to what you guys are doing to Nathan's car. Just as long as Nathan is safe when driving and everything works perfectly is my feelings. ;) Wondering into the unknown always lifts eyebrows, so the comments and concerns from the others is no surprise, take it in stride and continue to do what you do. I am sure it will all work out in the end.
    Hell yea! hehe

    I seriously hate to nit pick man. But everything about your car is amazing except for one thing. That intake man. Plastic and black where everything else is so well painted and red sticks out like a wart on the best pussy you have ever seen.
