I believe that all forms of motorsport are a form of Therapy for many people, thus the name Octane Therapy. Classic cars are my therapy. Driving, rescuing, turning wrenches on or just spending time with like minded people gets me in a good place!
I document all things related to Octane Therapy. Barn finds, car builds, neat car stories, special cars & special people. If I like it, I will record it.
If you know of any cars, people or stories that we need to share, please let me know...and we are always looking for cool cars to rescue!
The boxster should stay the way it is it's an awesome looking car take care of the parts that are on it and take care of that engine interior is a little different
Radio?? Apples and oranges. Tasteless chinese headlights look cheap and tacky compared to the classic pristine original ones. You want a more modern look, buy a modern car.
Worked for a guy that had one in the 80s and use to drive it now and then. Was never impressed fit finish and quality was like a kit car. Performance was meh! my 5.0 Mustang would eat its lunch. Corvettes were much better.
Amazing Mustang build. You might want angle the rear wing down towards the front of the vehicle to avoid rear end lift at speed. Lower the front suspension about one inch or more with the Shelby drop. It will help your camber when in the curves. Once again, magnificent build.
Being a 55 guy I can appreciate a hardtop ... nice lookin car ... looks like your seat is a little over stuffed and that you look like you sit a little high ... maybe just looks that way ... if not for the cost I'd put a LS in mine too ... nice job ...
That's a 4-point roll bar - no halo or A-pillars or door bars and definitely not to SCCA Trans Am spec. Bud Moore did these right...including his "skinny leaf springs"...know what those were? ...I didn't see a Watts linkage, either (psst: don't try with over the axle exhausts - Boss 302s had pipes in front of the rear tires ). It's also missing the Shelby drop A-arm mod in front & Koni heavy track shocks. The actual Trans Am cars also had the front hood line radically lowered by cutting down the inner fender and radiator core supports AND the fenders were belled and rolled to clear big tires - pie shaped pieces of metal were added...they are not stock. The rear quarters were also belled and rolled...the door panels were stock. McGee Motorsports at Sears Point stables 3 of the REAL Bud Moore cars, including Peter Gregg's 16a.
You are correct in all your comments. The original Boss T/A specs were / are amazing cars. This build was a loose tribute only and not intended to be exact in any way.
Beautiful! Just beautiful to see actually in real life like you since I went there! I loved all the vipers, Lamborghinis, porches, McLarens, fords, Trexs, cybertruck, and a rolls Royce
