Just brought my new frame home. We welded it up down at Garys Hotrods. We're waiting for the new race engine to come home and go back in the Willys so I have time to start putting the truck frame together. But it doesn't stop there. We also just picked up our 160" FED from our welder. That will go togeth...

Before I order one of these for the 2010 Suburban, will this affect the MOE regulations?? Add says "legal in 49 States" I can't see why it would affect the Emm. as everything still works just gets more air flow, better torque, better milage, so they say. Thks. Pete

I was going through some old pictures, and figured I would post something I built for my kids back in 1999. The first 2 pictures are when it was freshly built, and the last 2 were taken in 2009 when it finally got retired. It's powered by a 5hp Briggs and a 2 speed transmission with reverse. There's almost 2...
You would hear about the Yenko and Baldwin Motion cars but this is a new one to me. Can't imagine how rare one of these would be now (with legit documentation). -- Edited by Pint and a Pound on Tuesday 1st of January 2013 06:04:06 PM
