Awesome for sure! Looks and sounds great.
But I'm not sure I'm buying that was the 1st start. :)

Ok, maybe not the first turn of the key. Straighten out a few tiny issues and now as you can see, starts effortlessly and idles like a champ. Really never racked the throttle much. Well maybe once we opened the secondaries foe a split second. All I could say after that was, Holy Crap!!!!

Can't wait to see (and hear) that on the track. It's going to be a beast!

I wasn't there for the start but knowing that Brent Lykins built the engine to over the top specifications and a first start was more of a formality than anything else. This thing is going to be a monster!!!
Larry Goins of JBL is doing a masterful job on the entire build along with Brent Lykins engine and Mats money this thing is going to be a site to see. I believe the plans are to have it ready for the Darrell Starbird show February 15, 2013 along with a couple other JBL creations.
Way to go Mat, Larry, and Brent!

Here's another short video to show it can move under its own power. Larry's working on door windows, and getting it ready for the Daryl Starbird car show next weekend. Body will be in primer but every one will get a good look at the chassis.

Awesome Mat! Front suspension questions - what is normally an upper control arm I see 2 holes, one inner and one outer. Does that change the spring rate or ride? Also - no 'typical' ball joints, may be on to something there. Camber adjusted with the upper knuckle?
I see you went with a QuickFuel Carb. I think you will really like it. Mark and I have them on our cars and they require very little attention once tuned. :D

Yes on control arms. The inner hole is where the coil overs mount. The outer hole is where a blade type sway bar mounts to. It will be cockpit adjustable as well. Yes on that theaded rod end at the top of the spindle/upright. It will adjust camber. I think its pretty cool as well :cool:
Can't wait to get it too RunNGun!

Sorry, but not much exciting to photo. Rear glass mold is almost complete. Larry will probably send that out to the lexan guy this coming week. We're hoping 1/4" rear hatch wont need a frame, but we'll see. Power windows are designed. Production window frames will probably get worked this coming week as well. Dash will come out this week and if alum insert fits, gauges will go in and toggles get wired. Reverse selenoid module needs wired. Gas cap recesses and headlight buckets need fabbed too. Still lots of little stuff. I'll hopefully have more time to stop in this week. The wife gave me the flu last week. :mad:

Hope you're better, the flu will put you on the sidelines, no fun at all.
