| Well it's been 2 and a half damn hours of trying to use this asinine system of posting pictures and that's how it turns out. Oh well you get the gist... | |

| It's not for sale and it never will be (:
We should be opening a dealer in Leominster soon and it will be displayed in the showroom. With velvet ropes around it as there is not a single flaw on the car. Absolute museum quality.
My plans for the future may upset some and excite others. I plan to modify the car heavily. But only after I can afford and do buy Matt Garrett's Fleetwood in TX. Which as some of you may know is the last fleetwood to ever come off of the assembly line. It currently has 802 miles and has never been on a public road. It was built in triple black with every option. Sunroof and tow pack not withstanding. It was built for and resided in the GM Heritage Collection for a number of years.
The one in the pictures above will be what I believe to be the first ever twin screw fleetwood. I plan on building it with the stock block, transmission case, and rear axel housing, with nothing but the best internals. The car will appear and sound (As close as possible) to factory stock. Only when you pop the hood or when the cutouts are open will any one be able to tell that the car is heavily modified. Then in the trunk I will have two wide rims with slicks, small front racing wheels, and a floor jack mounted, Two Lane Blacktop style.
It will take years and cost thousands but if you knew how much I paid for the car you would understand just how serious I am about this project. | |

| Everything's for sale. But I would never sell my B4U either. Keep us updated on your progress. | |

| Is B4U the tow package for Caprices and Roadmasters? I read on the ss forum that it is a sport performance package??? This true? | |

| Yes it is true. I believe the B4U included the tow package, I converted to duel fans, hp gain, cleaner looking and easier to work on. It's also a Alabama car I bought in 2006 and primarily run only in non winter months. | |

| My hopes are that the mechanical fan set up will help with the custom fab work needed to pull the blower. I also intend to swap to dual electric fans and ideally I could plumb the Kenne Bell to a RAISS set up since I will be rid of the big fan shroud. I have been following the build on ls1tech where a guy successfully put a big liquid cooled whipple on an lt1 f body. He's now got the set up for sale and I will buy it if its still for sale in a few months in case it may help in the future.
That being said I am going to build the car right. From back to front.
I just think its amazing these cars can be pushed into the low 10's while still utilizing the stock block, transmission, and axel caseings. With heavily built internals of course and the ability to retain a stock appearance. Not many, non-performance, cars can make that claim. Hell, even the F body's can't claim that with their 7.5" rear. | |

| My next mod is a 58mm TB & bigger injectors and of course a tune to put the icing on the cake! I'm going to try like hell to make it to NED on a Friday night B4 Fall ends to see what she'll run! Keep us tuned in on "Black Beauty's" face lift. | |

| Not all F-body axles are created equal. But wait, there's more... And I'm still waiting on a name change to F'N BADASS of NE! | |

| I admitadly do not know anything about f-body's that are not 4th gens. Is that a 3rd gen axel? | |

| Some 3rd gens got the 9 bolt axle. I'm thinking I should take the drivetrain out of my 4th and put it in the 3rd gen. | |
