Default I'm building another one... Supercharged V8 Part Deux!!! :D

Well folks, I've started on the second Supercharged V8 Crossfire! I'm excited to finally start on another one and take all the countless hours of driving back and forth from Minnesota to Wisconsin, the many nights of lost sleep trying to figure out why something isn't working right, all the time spent pouring over schematics and diagrams trying to make sense of it all and the knowledge I've gained through it and put it all to good use. It will also be nice to have more of these little cars out there wrecking people's days(maybe months) as well! Since Paul's car is no longer going to be the only supercharged V8 Crossfire, I need some suggestions on how to make each one I do a little unique and personalized. I was thinking about numbering them until I realized that this one will be a #2 so anyone have any other ideas? LOL

Take care everyone and those that have seen it, thank you for all the compliments. They really do mean a lot.

Seriously can't wait to see it built...

And if you REALLY don't want to have the #2 motor, you can put it in mine...

Oh man, after going for a ride in Taz's car, I can't wait to see what you'll do with the next one!

If I can find a manual trans that can handle the power and still fit inside my transmission tunnel, I'd love to be car #3!

I thought you'd never ask! I actually might be doing some work on a Crossfire down in Puerto Rico this winter but that will only get me away from the white stuff for a week or two so I'm game to hit AZ for a while longer. Whatcha thinkin?

The letters "AMG" stand for Aufrecht, Melcher and Großaspach.

Take some credit Rudy!

I don't get it ... what is wrong about numbering them, and having that one be #2?

Congrats Rudy, you know I wanted it to be mine, but with the new house and other obligations, I can not take on a project of this magnitude ($$$$) for a while LOL. Glad someone can keep you busy

#2? Really, you don't get it?

I must be entirely too sophomoric.

I must be in that category too then.


Rudy, just number them "002"...


...and let me know after you build 006, cause I call dibs on build number 007. Hahahaha.

P.S. Once I get down to Houston, I may have to bring you down and put you up in my place for a couple months while you build me a S/C V8...if I plan it right, maybe you can do the work at Autowerks in Houston...and then after they see it, they may never let you go...Which I know you wouldn't mind.

Very Awesome!!! I'm really workn to get this done.
I think you should use roman numerals. Crossfire 55K I, 55K II, 55K III,
55K IV..... you get it.
