Thats going to be a fun project. What motor are you going to use?

[turbomini]

i am using a 2.5L dekota block and crank with turbo rods and pistons and just becuse i have one a big port head with a custom header and and intake. i plan on making for it.

and i didnt think i would have anyone reply that fast lol i mean it is(my time) 4:11 AM and i just came from the shop !

[vntodd]

Love that English Ford in the shop. Heck , Love that shop!

[turbomini]

wow i didnt think anyone would notice that lol i cant figure out how to spell what it is! but its my dads car he wants to full tube it. and race it.

I'm an old school gasser fan , they were kinda popular back in the sixties for drag racing , you know ... blowers , straight front axles , no front brakes and 150 mph runs with tire smoke all the way to the finish line .
A guy that lives a couple doors down from my brother has one sitting in his garage , tubbed and has a big block chevy stuffed under the hood , he was pretty surprised I knew what it was , too . It's a project car , but it's looking way cool already !
That omni's gonna be cool , can't wait to see photos ...

[turbomini]

yes!! i love gassers!
and thats just one of the many cars we have in that shop. on the other side of that white tarp sits my 76 dart sport moon roof car, and beside that is my brothers 72 duster 340 4 speed car. and beside that is my other brothers 68 satalight(sp) full tube car. lol but back to topic!

yea i cant wait till my knee stops hurting to work on the omni. i have to make a new K-frame using the old one also. the good thing is its a maunal rack car so its the rack is going in my borthers GLH so he can use my header i made for this omni!

a pic of my fender sticker for moparfwdsleeper! and a pic of the wheel choice i have. a set of 13inch aluminum slots or 18inch enkle. what do you guys or girls think?

and if you guys or gals are woundering about the dents below the "shelby" thats my knuckels lol i was putting the lower ball joint in and it sliped and smashed my hand in to the inner fender well and cut my hand open! and i ended up hitting it lol and thats after i pulled it back out. and yes i learned not to hit fenders.....(thinks to self good thing you cant see the front of this fender lol another dent!)

[turbomini]

ok heres a pic of the intercooler i'm using on the omni untill i get more money to buy a biger one! and you can see my bike lol i got more money in that one bike than i got in buying my omni! lol i have almost

This thing is going to be nuts. I cant wait to see the first smoke show. I preffer the enkels myself b.t.w. Your bmx wouldnt happen to be a gt pro performer would it?

[turbomini]

lol i am working on it slowly. and i am thinking the same thing on the wheels. and no its a huffy pro comp bike its named after the guy who road for them back in the day.. i paid 200 for the bike and put another 500 in it. it has double wall wheels i laced the wheels my self(put the spokes in) ground out the frame to fit 14mm axles(the stock were 3/8's) it has sealed bearings the only thing "stock" to the bike is the frame and front fork! i had my brother case harden the GT crank,

[turbomini]

i got the rear suspention all the way out. and i am now figureing out how to mount the rear end. which is going to be a 8 3/4 with 3.73 posi. with PUMPERS lol i found a set of 5 lug spendals that fit my car.
