Troy.... Keep an eye out for Sylvester the cat !!!! Beautifuly done.... Hope mine comes close....
Nerf and I have a set of 4
Yeah, that calls out for nerfage.

I like it as is with the hood handle as well as the bumper. Gives it a little less "kit car" look.
BIGBRD now has a twin. That could be your lic. plate, maybe.
Gorgeous picture of a stunning car. Going in, I have not liked the bright racing yellow paint of cars of any sort, but I must say I am warming up to it. No trouble picking them out of the mist. More pics possible?? What goes on the interior??

TAXI!
Wild Bill guessed it. I'm calling her the Yellow Cab....riolet.
There will be more pictures in a few weeks when I am ready to sell her. $10,000 in receipts from the previous owner show that the Yellow Cab has the following:

Troy after driving it I'd like your opinion of the gas shocks.
Thanks.....

I hope they forgot to account for head gaskets in calculating that compression ratio number (or head step) because if 0.015 is the true total deck height, that engine won't live for long.
I'm not so sure about that 84 stroke crank vs. 2160cc.
Congrats on your new purchase, Troy. PO may have exaggerated a bit, eh? 2160 engine is 84 x 90.5. I guess 190 hp is possible, but I am assuming non-turbo and pump gas. Sometimes hp figures can take on a life of their own from one owner to the next. I would like to see the dyno results. But that's only a minor point in a nice set-up. Thx for sharing.
You can always become a Pittsburgh Steelers fan! :-)
sometimes it does not matter what color it is if it's the right car....
how about "Big Bird"

You're correct stroke is 84 and pistons are 90.5 = 2160cc.
Justin.
Would .075 deck height make more sense? It's a little hard to read.

Personally I would have chosen a brighter yellow.
Vince where is Elmo's left hand?
Marty. With the expression on Big Bird's face, it's pretty obvious!
I see a smile on all three, so it may depend on how long Elmo's arm is...

A 0.075 total deck would give you 8:1 compression not 9:1 as listed (9:1 is correct value if total deck is 0.015). 0.075 would be a bit high, typical ranges are 0.035 to 0.065.
If the total deck truly is 0.015 with no head gaskets, I'd add a 0.040 gasket to get the deck to 0.055. That puts compression ratio at 8.3:1.
If it was me, I'd be pulling the heads to verify that deck measurement. I wouldn't risk the engine damage.
