I don't think he's doing that ( ? ) That's Clynt's red daily driver (4.5 caddy) 10" rear wheels, he had to use plastic flares to cover the rear wheels. Nigel did the same to his wide track ride. Edited by Car-2-Lo |

The grills are just a mock up for now, Clynt plans to do that. What do you think? 
This rear pic is a couple months old, thought I would show it anyway for 85SEnochie.  Edited by Car-2-Lo |

Yeah, very cluttered now, he had to relocate and make room for the turbo and now even a larger turbo as you can see left side of pics, this is for Clynt's red bubble top. Latest news for the panda chopper, Clynt is installing a 4.9 Caddy 4 speed automatic !!!!!

Stabilizers don't increase top speed, per se, but they stabilize at high speeds, allowing one to run safely at a higher speed than without. Much like rear-diffusers do. This car goes beyond amazing. And does anyone happen to know how he protected the subs and enclosures from being damaged, as they're partially in the engine bay. And now I feel like my subwoofer enclosures arn't so original... Sigh... |

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

No lottery win here, Clynt also nickeled and dimed it...choptop, wide body and V8!!!!! He only paid $500 '91 Caddy (for the whole car) ! 
V8 Caddy on cradle now, this is going into the chopper. It may look messy NOW, but all wires are labeled and Clynt is making harness. Clynt does super CLEAN INSTALLS. 
Added note: okay, I saw wires tagged with #s |

Next time you see Clynt, give him a poke and ask him if he has forgotten to swap anything. In those pics, he has not moved the valve cover yet. Just jokingly ask him how he will put oil in the car with the oil cap being on the firewall side rather than the trunk side.
Really glad to see another 4.9 hitting the streets. Now if I could just get enough time to put mine back on the road. Oh how I miss the sound and torque of that car. Then I have to decide if I am going to install the fastback clip on it. |

Are my eyes deceiving me, or is there an oil cap on the other valve cover as well?

Ya know what Patrick, you might be right on that, so he has either swapped it from the time the first and 2nd pic were taken, or he installed 2 Valve covers both with oil fill caps.

hi guys;
just a quick comment .two front covers yes .picked it up when i got the exhaust manifolds (wanted cross over instead of cross under). i need the room under the hinge where the cutout is for the ps pump just fits better. and the wiring no its not all labled still a lot to figure out. no rush on this project though ,body still need lots of time/money. time i got!! will also need a 4 cyl throttle cable anybody got spare??? |

Very cool Clynt, have you decided which car is going to get the Turbo? I know the 4.5 will rev better due to the shorter stroke, but I think you will see more gain on the 4.9 as it has to struggle more to get enough air in, plus the extra 30 ci, should be a notable gain when boosted. Have you done the Mustang Injector upgrade yet. Its on my to do list here.
