      It is funny you should say that, I was thinking I could slap a turbo in the engine bay, I think it would look very nice

      • Alot of guys are starting to run the 5.3 in demo derbys.. Aftermarket intake, Holley 500 cfm 2 barrel dizzy instead of the stock stuff..
        Just a cam change.. I've seen many get very hot running without water.. So boosted should be a piece of cake.

                  Hi there it's a steel body, I'm thinking of painting gun Metal Gray and doing the chrome in Black

                  • Man, that's a nice looking car! I have to say at first I was look warm on it but now I can see you vision of it and it's great. Turbo 5.3 and 6 speed, awesome.

                          She had just opened a letter saying she had just got her airfare reservation to Auckland. We were visiting her at her dorm. I'll keep you in mind Bryan! Thanks for the offer,

                              That would be bitchin'! sorry, Should have caught on sooner that it was steel. I was under the assumption that Jaguar made all their cars from Aluminium.

                                That's funny I had a few people tell me at the show that the car looked so good and how did I get the aluminium to look that good.
                                One of that other things that happened was I walked into the shed that it was parked in and there was someone sitting in it, I could not believe it
