If you have all the parts and tools and know how i don't know why this wouldn't be do-able.

EDIT - Car looks badass, did you guys build the black S14 with a SBC?

Hey David, if you don't mind me asking, what tire sizes are you running on those grids.

You can find them on ebay. They run around $300 new and under $100 used. BUT you have to get one that matches the year of your engine, the rear main seal changed in 85/86.

Yes I built that car.

I got it on ebay. It was around $800 if I remember correctly. I wouldn't do it again though, the nova pan is just too easy!

225 on the front and 265 on the rear, BUT they are kuhmo race tires so they are probobly closer to 235 and 275.

Ok after too long of a wait the main video it done. If you missed it here is the teaser video: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v63594032jJtGwT2 The main video is almost an hour long and 265mb in it’s current format. If you want to watch the whole thing there are two options at this point:

1. Download in three parts from media fire. You can download all parts simultaneously and there is no registration required:http://www.mediafire.com/?mc3ng92mbbyht ... rzd2hmgl1g

2. You can go to Veoh and watch the first five minutes here: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6564778t73qSfYm To download straight from Veoh click on “Download Options” located on the right side of the page about halfway down then right click, save as “Original video” OR you can download Veoh’s TV software and stream the whole video.

If there is any interest in a higher rez I can make it available. I’m really sorry for the delay in getting this out, producing an hour long feature was a lot more difficult than I expected. Let me know what you think of the video and if it plays OK. All in all there are a million things I wish I could redo/reshoot but there wasn’t enough time and we didn’t have any video experience. If I get a good response then I’d like to do another film again in the future.

Feel free to repost this anywhere…

.RAR file? Weak. Where can I get a free .RAR decoder? A google search turned up a bunch of junk.

The video was awesome. I had work to do, but I couldn't get away from the screen until it was over.

Thanks David!
