The Ivory KB car

Too bad blue or red couldn't be used.

I thought we can't get any lights into those bumpers due to the lack of space. Did have to cut things up a bit? Maybe I missed an earlier post.

Dude. It's Jeremi.

Taking advantage of the the dry day I dropped the car off at AA. It made the 40 mile trip across town without any issues. Cruising at 70-75mph is smooth and effortless, and showed avg 24MPG.



Good things to come next week :big-grin:

Hope you can catch some videos while its on the rollers.

I LOVE the grille. the rest of the car is okay too i guess.

It took allot of hours with an Xacto knife and single edge razor blades.
That material is very hard to work with sandpaper, Dremel, etc.
The best method I found was to shape/smooth the grill with the blades.
Of course, Jeremi's patience in taping and painting the grill made all the difference.

Long awaited, but here are the results of today dyno session. Big thanks to Lidio at Alternative Auto for putting in countless hours making this possible.
The car surpassed my expectations, and I hope Bill is not mad we were little HP shy of his goals. This Mark VIII is a one bad ***** for sure :love-it:

Final numbers on 93 Octane: 590 RWHP 519RWTQ @ 18.5PSI



I tried to capture one of the runs, but the sound gets distorted in the upper rpms. Sorry.

The only problem is I just don't know what to build next. :roll_over:

*Cough*

How can you ever think I might be disappointed in any way with the car you have created.
I hoped for 550-600 rwhp so you achieved the high end of that range :love-it:
You are the master at creating MAD MARKS.
I'm so grateful that the LOD people directed me to you.

Congrats on another successful bad a** project, excellent job. Those numbers are quite impressive :thumbsup:.

I'm working on that, funds are almost recouped after having the daily driver stolen just after putting a new tranny in it :mad-tilt:.

As Lvnmarks suggested, theres always the blue car/turbo begging for your attention to detail :cool-blue:.

[Roadboss]

That is one exciting ride, and I bet you can't wait for the roads to dry out. It was done so meticulously. You out shined yourself again Jeremy. Congrads out to both of you. Make sure you autograph the glove box door.

 

[97MarkJA]

Love that trim painted, looks good on a ivory car.

Plus one on the trim as well. Like that satin color. Looking good!
