Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: TexasTom on January 23, 2012, 19:32:59 pm Looks AWESOME, Jason! Must be a GREAT feeling ... when will it be back on track? ;)
Change the engine any, or just freshen? Really dig those seats too ... what brand? Hmmm ... TxT Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Rick Meredith on January 23, 2012, 19:34:37 pm I was wondering why we hadn't seen you around.
Looks great! Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: 58vw on January 23, 2012, 19:42:57 pm very cool...
seats look like beard...i could be wrong Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Stephan S on January 23, 2012, 19:47:09 pm Wow! Great job on the engine & interior. Welcome home brotha!
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Fastbrit on January 23, 2012, 20:20:48 pm That engine looks very cool! 8)
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: johnl on January 23, 2012, 20:36:47 pm Jason, The car looks great and I really like the "mat" black touches done in the engine compartment. Very clean.....
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Jason Foster on January 23, 2012, 21:02:34 pm Thanks for all the compliments guys,
Tom, they are Beard seats, the engine is same combo but cam went from FK10 to FK46 and I probably will beat on it at Drag Day in March. Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Dave Rosique on January 23, 2012, 21:06:00 pm VERY NICE!!
Engine looks sweet.. living proof less is more! <edit>... a headliner? ;D Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: volksnut on January 23, 2012, 22:22:57 pm looking good!
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Mike Maize on January 23, 2012, 23:01:36 pm VERY nice. I really love the blacked out engine, especially the alternator. Have fun!
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Troy Palmer on January 23, 2012, 23:13:09 pm Looks great, nice touch of modern safety and technology with Old School lines.
Troy Palmer Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Fritter on January 23, 2012, 23:41:28 pm Clean, clean clean. What a trophy your car is. Bet those Beard seats are comfy, especially when you have those harnesses strapped down.
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Zach Gomulka on January 24, 2012, 00:11:17 am Motor looks sinister!
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: kingsburgphil on January 24, 2012, 00:28:29 am Well thought out, nicely executed. I'm jealous :D
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: topnotch on January 24, 2012, 00:32:03 am AWESOME!!!!!
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Cheesepanzer on January 24, 2012, 01:02:21 am That's a really nice "look" all they way around. Nice job. 8)
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: bilboa2 on January 24, 2012, 02:27:08 am Look'n REALLY good . like the car year, car color, black engine trim, cam choice... ;). Plus the seats and roll bar choice send a nice message. Can't wait to hear some e.t. #'s. What compression did you end with ? If only change in motor was cam, would like to hear your drivability thoughts, I really liked my k 10 to fk46 change. bill
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: DKK Ted on January 24, 2012, 02:33:40 am Car looks HOT! SO clean! Your motor looks even HOTTER!! Love the way you did the motor Jason, That thing gonna makes some numbers too! Great job dud!!
Ted Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: edcraig on January 24, 2012, 04:02:48 am Great looking car. Love the look of the motor!

Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Hotrodvw on January 24, 2012, 06:06:49 am After about a year down my car is at last back in action here's a few shots (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/YAVE123/car-1.jpg) (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/YAVE123/interior2.jpg) (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/YAVE123/interior1.jpg) (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/YAVE123/engine-1.jpg) Interior has new seats, harnesses, roll bar, headliner and carpet Thanks to Rick Sadler and his major help the engine is all fresh and ready for action. Jason...........did you paint your dist. cap, or were you able to buy a black one? I'm wanting a black one, but not sure if the paint will melt it or not. Eric Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Jason Foster on January 24, 2012, 07:02:59 am Wow thanks for all the kudos guys,
Zach I always like the way you put things. Mark I knew you'd like that. Eric it's not painted it's molded black. Bill not much time on motor yet but the off idle transition and throttle response seem great. Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: 70slooker on January 24, 2012, 07:18:54 am dkp does it again! that looks fantasic! i keep going back to the engine shot, the way the idas pop out of the engine bay really draws your eye into them, kinda makes me wonder if thats how the old guys felt when they first saw a decklid open with a pair of em in there!!
well done Mr.foster well done! Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: 181 on January 24, 2012, 16:48:31 pm very well done, I dig the tastefully done engine paint scheme.
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Matty c on January 24, 2012, 19:30:26 pm Cool, very stealth 8)
What linkage are you using on that Jason? Matt Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Jeff68 on January 24, 2012, 20:23:20 pm Very Nice Indeed! How was the engine tin finished? If you don't mind me asking, Is it powder coated or painted and what kind of paint or powder coat?
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Lee.C on January 24, 2012, 21:51:13 pm Very cool engine bay 8) :)
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: 181 on January 25, 2012, 00:00:09 am looks like CSP linkage?
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Jason Foster on January 25, 2012, 02:58:58 am yup csp linkage.
two different levels of matte black, powder coated. the tins and oil filler cap are one shade (BK08) and the manifolds, velocity stacks and linkage are a flatter shade (silky satin black). done at Newport Mesa powdercoat. Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: WCB Hitler's Hot Rod on January 25, 2012, 06:52:06 am Diggin' the stealth power plant! It's hard to tell but, does the alt. have a wrinkle finish to it? Looks great! The whole car has now more of an aggressive look to it.
Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Catbox on January 25, 2012, 22:19:14 pm Very nice execution on your car.
Who is the roll bar from? Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Jason Foster on January 26, 2012, 04:08:47 am Roll bar is Lummus and yes the Alt. is wrinkle

Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: WCB Hitler's Hot Rod on January 26, 2012, 06:31:55 am blackout look ;) 8)Title: Re: Back on the road at last Post by: Jason Foster on January 26, 2012, 06:43:02 am case is an auto linea aluminum standard roof
