Green Hotwheels Sreet Beasts....

I talked to the guys at Champion Radiator and actually bought it from Tony at Performance Cooling (one of Champions dealers) 209-652-4059. It cost $484 for the 4 core + shroud + spal fan + shipping...........which I thought was a good deal. Or you can call Tyler at Leadfoot Racing 714-974-1650 which is another dealer for Champion or you can call Sid/Veronica at Champion 951-245-9464................lot of choices, but the cheapest was Performance Cooling.
You probably don't need a 4 core unless you are running over 600HP and a lot of guys are running a 3 core than make over 500HP...........just depends on how much space you have.

 

:Handshake...glad you got it on the way...

mine should ship this week..

 

It matches the HotWheels Green Street Beasts Grabber to a T, I put just a dot on top of the HotWheels and could not tell a difference, I love this color it should catch eyes from everyone!!

 

Searching Craigslist for front disc brakes, I ran upon a set over in Louisiana, had a phone number and I gave him a call to inquire about shipping, if he would ship them, he said he would but talk about lucky.....I told him where I was so he could quote me a price on the shipping and he said "next weekend we are coming over to do some diving in Vortex Springs" I was like REALLY? what luck!! Vortex Springs is not too far from me, he said he will bring them with him and I can drive up and get them there...WOW saved my butt on shipping, the other good things are, I get the fronts for $150.00 and he thinks he has a rear Explorer setup also and will take $150.00 for them also, front and rear disc for $300.00 ohhhhh yeahhh!!!

 

Well I give up on headers for this engine, seems if I have to bend and beat them to get clearence for them to fit, then I am defeating the purpose for having headers, I am going with stock exhaust manifolds, Pick n Pull has a half price sale this weekend and I'm sure I can find some truck exhaust manifolds like I need to get this engine done and running, I remember the straight truck manifolds fit pretty good, I have worked for a week trying to get the hooker 6901-1 headers to fit and it ain't happening, besides that my hands and arms are suffering trauma!!

 

I actually like that color...its like Grabber Green on steroids.LOL.

 

It is pretty....how should I say it....illuminating!!

Got a little bit done today, painted the front spindles,new calipers and rotors, waiting to do the back ones for just a bit, trying not to get too far ahead of myself on things.

 

Oh an rear disc before paint.......

 

Finally got the engine to sit down on the motor mounts party3:celebration time!!!!

 

Just got back from Okaloosa Island, went and picked up some Mustang Bullits....hope they fit, 9" fronts and 10" rears with spacers and lug nuts for $340.00.

 

♫ It's beginning to look alot like an engine ♫
Still gotta get pully's and fuel line and filter, finish tranny mount, fill with oil and install radiator, oh and put cherry bombs on, then maybe start it up!!

 

Looking good! That green is beginning to grow on me

 

It is going to be a fun color to have I think, there is a Lime Green Maverick running around here that belongs to an old friend of mine but he doesn't drive it much, mine just the engine is the lime green (AutoZone calls it Grabber Green) but it's a duplicolor engine paint.
I did manage to get the pully's today so maybe soon I can get them on, gotta clean and paint them first of course, it's getting closer, as soon as the engine is done I will start ripping out the interior and doing the small bit of body work, and finally get to put some color on the exterior.....that is if it EVER stops raining here.

 

I keep clicking this thread hoping to see more things painted Green. Keep it up Roger Im sure it will be a sweet car real soon.

 

Sounds really great, but how about some PICTURES!
