Any future plans dude?


Not any near future plans, but ultimately i would like replace the powerdyne with something a bit more robust. Exterior wise i'm content with, have played around with photoshop a bit but nothing that i'm willing to go through with. Interior wise i have a few cheapish idea's that will more than likely happen, but nothings set in stone :)

Great write-up Steve, I think the last time I saw it in person (not counting seeing it at Chaddy a few weeks ago) it was still in pieces in the garage. You'd have to be one the most un-lazy people I've ever met. :mrgreen: I still remember freaking out when I saw how much debt I was getting into with my EA, at least someone actually went through with everything they said they would. Only suggestion I can make is maybe EL Fairmont B-pillar blackout trim, though the EF II Ghia doors should have had them originally..

See you 'round.

This is such an awesome car, about time I saw a write-up for it ...TOP WORK!!!

Just a few Q's..

Any reason(s) why you went SC instead of Turbo?

Is the paint BA / BF Mercury Silver?

How is she to drive in terms of power, boost build-up, feel, and pick-up / response?

Did you feel a decent difference going from N/A to SC?

How does she sound with the charger?

You should post up an 'engine running' vid clip, and give her a few squirts ...would love to see / hear this thing running!

Once again ...awesome job man :good:

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this thread, haven't really been on in ages...

This is such an awesome car, about time I saw a write-up for it ...TOP WORK!!!

Something different, wasn't as widely used as turbo's and a good deal came up so i decided to go for it :)


Is the paint BA / BF Mercury Silver?


Yes, yes it is :)

How is she to drive in terms of power, boost build-up, feel, and pick-up / response?


It's fairly quick but it doesn't feel quick. All the turbo cars i've been in you can feel the boost come on, whereas with the charger it's very linear power so you don't get that rush, just feels like a fast NA car. Tho the response is insane, on the rare occasion that my auto decides to drop a gear (something i need to sought out :P), the power is instant. ATM it does seem to choke a bit up top but i will look into that when i have some more cash :)

Did you feel a decent difference going from N/A to SC?


Huge difference ;)

How does she sound with the charger?


My chargers built to be quiet compared to others, highway cruising you can't really notice it but @ idle and low revs you can certainly hear the whistle. I have no idea what it sounds like from the outside tho :P

There is a video of me pullin down the throttle floating around but i'm not sure who has it.????

Once again ...awesome job man :good:


Thanks mate :drinks2:
