Muscle cars new project car, 73 Century

Guys, I met Tommy today at the Nats. Super nice guy. I have to say the car looks way beter in person than any pics you have seen. I will try to post some pics later.

A big thanks to the crew of Musclecar for bringing the car out to play:Brow:

 

Im a tad jealous of all you BG attendees :Brow:

 

Me too! What brand of wheels are those pictured on blue collar?

 

I'll see if there are any pics of the '73 posted. If not I'll post some when we get home Monday night.

 

No. It now has edelbrock heads, intake, 800qjet, different cam and headers.

 

Did they try and run a 455 without slicksou: Hope they take it to a track with some slicks to get some real times.

 

It was great to see you and the car. It came out sweet. The car did good at the track too! Thanks for the stuff, tell Michelle she is a sweetheart!
P.S. My car went 13.109 Best ever!:3gears: ) On those old street tires.
4100 lbs /w me 4260!!!

 

here are the added extras in the car now

Here are some more pics! The cars looks cool:TU:

 

Thanks for the pictures!
I have to say the wheels have grown on me a little :shock:
great job on the car Tommy and Rick

Now on to the second phase? :beer

 

Performance upgrades have been done already. I don't know if they will air them or not. Tommy said when the Bowling Green episode will air, but I forget when it will beou: . Hopefully he will chime in here and let us know:TU:

 

After seeing all these other photos I don't mind the wheels that much either. Just shows what a difference a camera's lens width and photographer's choice of position makes. The closer, lower wide-angle shots really screw with the proportions of the car.

 

Again, who makes those wheels!? I wnat those for my car! They look like the old hot wheels car wheels...

Look at the sign. it lists recent upgrades on the bottom.
Edlebrock heads intake and 800 carb
Crane cam and roller rockers
Hooker super comp headers
summit ignition with MSD
TCI 700r4 trans with torque converter
EAton posi with 3:73 gears
Summit rear disc brake conversion
Aluminum Radiator
Hood tach

So hopefully they will show the upgrades on the show. Maybe High performance will get a hold of it. Would be there first Buick engine build they ever did.
