i fkn love this animal

jesse is a good mate of mine. and for those who dont know, he did all the work on my car. his skills are unbelievable.

this car is amazing, the amount of time and effort gone into the smallest things that people wouldnt even think about doing is what makes this car so unique.

i cant wait to be sittin in this thing, listenin to that engine scream off its head while bein thrown into a loop

love it!! needs more front low for me though.

surprised you didnt go a watts linkage in the rear instead of the panhard rod, with all the diff work you did, wouldnt have been too hard to add the pivot to the diff cover, and a second panhard bracket on drivers side of car.

could go wider rears without having to worry about one side scrubbing then

Thanks for all the positive comments guys... Appreciate it.

Totally agree with the front lower bit. The difillipo pipes are pain & hang really low, I destroyed a set on my old Vn so I've had to be sensible with front ride height.... Lil bit gay I know...

Did consider the watts link hakhawk.. I was goin to use an el falcon diff cover as the fords run a factory watts link. When I mocked it up I didn't like the amount of room I was left with for the coilovers and exhaust. With the coilovers and twin 3 inch exhaust over the diff it Doesn't leave much room for anything else.

295/50/15 on a 9" rim swims under there and won't scrub. I can't imagine needing anything bigger

Absolutely beautiful mate.

Attention to detail on a car is what I can really appreciate. It's the little things, the little bits of love, the extra mile which makes a modified car 'special'.

I loved your SS (followed the build on VN SS forums), whilst I usually only like VN's when they're Atlas SS's, you've made me really love this one.

Monster driveline, would have cost a penny, but so worth it in the end. I'm looking forward to building my 383 soon, won't have anything on this though :)

Love it mate. Well done again!
