Yes...I could probably use the door holder again Larry, lol. I'll weld the corners up for you Larry. No problem.

OverKill is flying a "holding pattern" while I complete my Powder Coat oven build. Solid roller 496 BBC is being assembled by Smith Racing of Denver right now. Edelbrock aluminum rectangle port heads H beam rods were selected amongst a bunch of other goodies! Should get up and get pretty well!!!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Oh man that is going to be SWEET! Looks big enough to do rad supports and maybe even bumpers. :c2:

Re: Project OverKill
 

Yep...big enough for radiator supports and with my special built Diagonal rack will do bumpers up to 80" long.

Re: Project OverKill
 

Any updates? are you going to the Tri-state swap meet?

Re: Project OverKill
 

No real updates other than Eagle (kit # 18022) 496 rotating assembly has been purchased and is at Smith Racing being put togther. Also bought a 1050 Dominator carb built by Chuck Nuytten Carbs. It is all blended and polished looks sweet!

Powder coat oven is almost done.

Re: Project OverKill
 

Ouch, those are just a little out of my price range. It seems like all the nice things usually are though. Thanks for the link Alex...

Re: Project OverKill
 

Sounds like you're building some serious motivation for Overkill.......hence the name "Overkill"

Looking good!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Thanks Jim! OverKill's powerplant should have plenty of motivation! I am told it should be above 650hp.
