Prokiller Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 This month we had our Build Thread theme and I think we had some great competition here. Sadly we only had 3 to choose from but that just made it even harder to choose. In the end, as always, we have a winner. This goes to a personal friend of mine that really deserves the recognition he receives. He has taken an immaculate show winner and striped it down to it's bare bones and rebuilt it to something truly incredible. once it's done of course. So raise your glasses and cheers to an awesome guy and fantastic build! 95opal Performance: Engine: Dart SHP Machined Block FordStrokers/RPM 4340 Forged Steel 3.250 Crankshaft - INTERNAL FordStrokers/RPM 4340 Forged Steel H Beam Connecting Rods 5.400 Wiseco 2618 Forged Pistons (14cc, Inline) 4.030 Wiseco GFX Ring Package Clevite 77 H Main Bearings Clevite 77 H Rod Bearings Dart Coated Cam Bearings Screw in Oil Galley Plugs Fel Pro Rear Main Seal ARP Main Studs Freeze Plugs Cam Bolt Cam Retainer Plate SA Gear Billet Timing Chain w/Torrington Bearing Melling Oil Pump M68 ARP Oil Pump Bolts Moroso Oil Pump Pick up 24519 ARP Billet Oil Pumpshaft Fel Pro 1 Piece Pan Gasket Morel link bar lifters FTI prepped AFR 195 competition heads Comp cams 1.6 Ultra Pro Magnum rockers FTI ported holley systemax FTI custom blower cam Accufab 75mm t body Pmas 95mm MAF Deca 80# injectors Polished 8 rib Vortech si renegade package with Mondo valve Duel nozel Snow performance stage 2 meth injection Zex 100 shot wet kit Custom sumped 19 gallon RCI fuel cell 10AN feed 8An return Aeromotive A1000 pump with A1000 regulator BBRC billet fuel rails MSD 6al Relocated MSD coil SCT 4 banck chip Mezier remote mount water pump custom smoothed bay wire tuck Brake line tuck ABS dele3te custom built fan shroud and core cover Promotion built tr3650 race version (1000hp) Stifflers trans crossmember and driveshaft safety loop Pro 5.0 shifter Suspension: Team z auto x K-member team z Auto x tubular A arms MM2 Race series coilovers Wilwood 14" 6 piston calipers Wilwood Polished tandem master cylinder and proportioning valve Wilwood 13" 4 piston rear calipers MM manual brake conversion MM Manual steering shaft Flaming river quick ratio manual rack Steeda front and rear sway bars energy suspension end links Steeda bump steer kit MM caster camber plates Team z mini tub kit Qa1 rear coil overs Steeda lower control arms Steeda double adjustable upper arms built and narrowed ( 6") 3.73 8.8 rear with Custom bracing and CHE axle brace Stifflers fit system Stifflers spyder bracing Stifflers K-member brace 20x12 & 19 x 9 custom forged wheels 345/25/20 & 275/30/19 nitto invos Exterior: full saleen s281 speedster package shaved emblems Saleen tail light bezels wiper delete with smoothed cowl panel modified 04 cobra mirrors Interior: Custom covered Saleen Recaros Custom rear seat delete with 12" fosgate subs In dash Ipad mini Saleen light bar Full custom covered interior Custom built instrument cluster with full autometer gauges Custom built center console with custom built switch panel Billet pedal covers That's the basics as I have just started on tackling the interior, photobucket is acting up this morning so whatever pics I included is all I can get to at the moment lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SublimeRT Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Congrats Rich! I've been a big fan of your car for many years. Your old shaved bay was one of the first that really caught my eye and a big inspiration for my own. The car's latest iteration will be better than ever and is going to be in a league of its own.
