    It was beyond a pleasure to get the call for this one, guys! Thanks so much for having me on your channel and letting me share so much detail about my Torana.

    I was bemoaning up at Summernats this year that it seemed like every car there turned up on a trailer. Then after checking out Heaths car in the Top 60 pavilion and seeing how sweet it was, I was amazed to hear that he drove the car up from Melbourne. Was that the only Top 60 car to not have turned up on a trailer? That is a tribute to you, and as Luke says, what a car! Fantastic 👌Great coverage as usual guys.

    I really can't stress enough how relieved I feel to see a car built for corners. There is a limit to how many 2000hp missiles this little black duck can cope with on the cover of Street Machine.
    Fantastic job Heath, I rank this equal to Howard Bells SLR 8000.

      @@Hezath wondered if you can mount a forklift bottle for extra capacity (20L? ) or a donut tank (45 usable litres) on the back floor(swing up for sleeping or lift out?) might affect center of gravity hehe. A mate in Gembrook has heard this car and says it sounds Glorious! Really glad this video shows all the mods and details i was able to see on the forum build, didn't even cover the wiper motor relocation mod ;)

    • @Hezath
      @Hezath ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @deankdx anything else I add tank-wise would ruin sleeping in the car... the way I've made the rear suspension does encroach on some of the rear floor shape... you don't get much for nothing on a smallish car! But yes a forklift bottle could be arranged in a pinch. The sound of the car seems to get better and better as the temper of the stainless has changed and/or the mufflers have filled up a bit. The sound is pretty unreal! hahahaha
