This is it. The Hellion.
The end result of a childhood obsession, countless hours in the garage, and a big middle finger to everyone who said it couldn't be done.
"If you tell me something can't be done, shut up and watch me do it." - Dad
In this thread, I will try my best to document and recapture the journey of the build for each component of the car.
Before I continue, there are a few people I need to thank for the inspiration, guidance, wisdom, and support for this incredible car.
James Reeves - I know we've never met in person, but your GLH has been the driving force behind this build since I first started this endeavor as a kid. I remember years ago picking up an issue of Street & Tuner Magazine, flipping it open, and seeing an Omni GLH featured over four pages. A 500 horsepower Omni. I read that article probably 10 times over and knew that I was hooked on getting mine to that level some day. I didn't know how, and I didn't know how long it would take, but I knew that it was possible and that's all the information I needed.
Cindy @ FWDP - I honestly don't know where this car or this community would be without your support. I can't thank you enough for taking my money every time I've called down there. I know at first I was just some kid ordering parts, and over the years I kept dropping it off at the shop for more upgrades between deployments to the Middle East, but I am sincerely grateful to you and your team for taking me in. The engine that you guys put together for me back in 2011 is still going strong. I've put it through some abuse, and it just keeps on going.
Shadow - I've picked your brain a few times and have read through your build thread numerous times. I can't thank you enough for providing to me and this community all of the invaluable time and research you've put into making you car faster and sharing it with the community. In fact, I'm still running the ACT SRT-4 clutch combo that you posted years ago in my A520.
NAJ - I'm not sure how many times I've reached out to you for guidance on getting my car back on the road with wiring issues. You've helped on both my GLH and my Charger back when I had it. To be honest, the wiring of the GLH had me close to quitting with all of the electric issues the old harness gave me over the years. But, every time there was an issue, you had a fix for it. Thank you!
signsoflife22 - If there was anyone I needed to thank for support outside of my family and close friends, its you. It seemed like every step I took forward, or every post I made on FB, you were there saying "Hell Yeah brother!" Not everyone in my circle of friends "gets" what I had been trying to do or had believed that my build would even work. But you were there motivating me from the sidelines. I can't thank you enough for being my friend.
