Here's The Hammerhead project.Hammerhead rides on C-4 suspension, and has a one off onepiece front.The car has been lightened and currently runs a 355ci sb.It has along ways to go and a lot of mods and changes before I'm done.The vette was once a 71 BB 4spd vert,that got distroyed long before I got a hold of it and was not a restorable car.(Sad)It was the perfect car for this project.The car is in primer and will remain that way untill the body is finnished.

This was the first design that I based the new look on.

This is the last front that I built,But it was not mean enough.It was built out of foam and glass.

I bet it gets a Ton of Attention. How do the pipes sound? Are they true side mount headers? Do you have the baffles in them? Those are my favorite sounding exhaust. How much adjustment do you have in your front spoiler?

Do you have any performance numbers on it yet?

Too bad you can't post a link with just the sound of the pipes.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

The sides are real!(Hookers) They are almost open,they have resonators only to cutdown on the crack in the tone.(Homemade)I have a short clip of the car running that my daughter took.The front spoilers are very adjustable and made to swing back upon a strike.

This might give a good idea of it on the road.
