Fat Larry's GTR Build

So I took the car out for a ride today with my daughter Shelby and we ran the car a little hard this time I think Shelby was shocked at how much power the car has she said dad it thru me back in the seat. I asked her which car was faster my 55 Chevy Pro Tour with a 565 All Aluminum Brodix Big Block pushing 750 HP or the GTR she said I think the GTR
 
So I have been tying up some loose ends before taking the car for it’s final dyno tune in Dec one of the things I wanted to make was a toe hook so I could pull the car up on the trailer myself an watch the front end doesn’t drag on the trailer ramps and yes I am still waiting for my title from August

Hey Larry, I like the look of the Lava Matt on the frame rails. Looks like you covered the ends up with some type of banding that looks like Lava Matt, can you explain what material you used? Thanks!

Well I knew there would be a day I would have to say goodbye to this car that day was yesterday she is off to a new owner who will hopefully enjoy the car and all it has to offer it was a super fun build and I have to thank Alan, H at H Craft, Kurtiss, Fran and his team at RCR, Chris and Ryan at Danzio Racing and all of the guys on this forum who like me are passionate about build cars. Now I just have to wait for Dave at Factory 5 to get done on the F9 for my next build, thanks everyone

Good luck with your F9 Larry... Please feel free to share your build experience here in the Wings-Wheels and Keels forum!
 
I was thinking maybe a Viper V-10 power Plant with 6 sp manual I think that would be Fun. I just hope Factory 5 ends up releasing the F-9 to the public soon, I know Dave wants to get it right so I understand completely.

I had a couple Vipers, that would be a great choice. The side F9 vent behind the front wheels looks Viperish to me. Based on the forums I think I read they were redesigning the front end. Looking forward to seeing your F9 build.
 
Yeah I hope to become maybe a specialty builder of the F9 the car is very interesting to me has a lot of potential. In the meantime I will work on my 800 hp Pro Touring 1955 Chevy Belair time to install AC and Fuel Injection.

Good morning build family is there anyone in the Fort Wayne Indiana area building one of these cars or knows of a shop that would work on one of these cars. The gentleman who purchased my car wants some work done on it so I thought I would reach out.
