interesting side job

Post: # 4202Post 77viper »

So I got a call from a guy wanting me to look at a merc 150 that lost a locator pin and ring. I found out he lives about 2 miles from my parents house so I told him I would stop by and give him a estimate. Once I get to the house I see this big shop with 4 patio doors, looks real nice. After talking for a bit we went inside and it's split in two sections, one with a nice lift and a Chrysler crossfire as well as a srt charger. At the back is a mirrored glass door that said RACE SHOP. I had to ask what was in there, he said his drag car was in there and he let me check it out. After walking through the door I had to ask if I could take some pictures.

It has a full carbon fiber body the doors weigh under 30 pounds and from the two of us lifting off the front clip it can't weigh 100. The motor is a all aluminum hemi with twin turbos making 3500-4000 horsepower depending on the tune.
