Believe me, I was dang surprised! First try, and I promise, there was no cheating with pre-video tests.
Notice how the left rear wheel starts turning... I had no clue because it was hidden from view. That could have been really "thrilling" had I really gassed it, seeing as how no A-arms are supporting that wheel. First start
No turbo's installed yet, both because the turbine housing's out for coating, and because it's a good idea to let the engine blow all the junk out of the exhaust instead of it going through the turbine... hence, no muffler!
Sorry for bragging, can't help it. It's a big psychological milestone.

Ha Ha Ha! I have followed Kurt for a long time but that is the first time I have seen him. I for some reason thought he would look different so I Ass-umed that was someone else even though the exhaust looked familiar......can't wait to see it done!!
That is awesome. I hope to see some vids of it on the track soon! Great build!
Looks great!
Does the engine install from above or below?
That is a seriously cool project!
Can't it to see it finished. Keep us posted.

Thanks. Engine removes from above. Below was considered but too much structure needs to be removed.
I love it. "Son of a bitch...it started." Looks great, can't wait to see it on the wheels and rolling.

Yeah I forgot for a second that the camera was running - it just kind of came out. I honestly didn't expect it to start after all that wiring.
