Hey guys, just introducing Vinny's Twist machine/musclerides project car, its here at Jakes Rod Shop getting a 650hp stroked Chevy bb,with spin tech 3 inch oval exhaust, x pipe, and oval fabricated tail pipes, Hughes tricked out 4l80e transmission with muscle drive tq converter, Twist machines awesome paddle shifter, a Jakes Rod Shop polished rear spoiler,cowl hood and a repaint, to closely match wheels but the body color will pop. Also adding a stripe across hood and fenders at tire centerline, here are some starting pics. Vinny is not good with computers but wanted me to post so you guys got to know the car. The car is a Arizona un cut car, all original with one re paint, until know,lol.
To date, Vinny and Steve have done the air ride 4 link rear and strong arm front with double adjustable shocks, forgeline wheels, wilwood brakes and sparco seats.

Yes, the owner likes the color of the wheels, we are thinking of matching the color and doing a colorless basecoat with pearl overlay to make the body color pop.
