[Function And Form] Sleeper DIY 10-Second Turbo C3… Part 8

As with most weeks, Carl is jumping around his shop with a flurry of various projects, including more phenomenal electronics wizardry, so sit back and enjoy. But first, if you missed any previous episodes for Carl’s 10-second turbo build, (or need a review), here are the links: part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, part six, and part seven. Each episode is a quick read, with lots of pictures. If you want some short but cool videos, episode two has our first start-up video showcasing that monster turbo, and episode three has a video showing Carl’s custom-coded trans controller working flawlessly with the turbocharged engine and transmission.

Viewer Advisory: This build has some serious meat on the bones, as Carl has some crazy technical skills (especially with electronics), and he is going to tap into all of them to turn his 1977 Stingray into a 10-second quarter-mile monster!

Today’s first project is some bodywork, as Carl remarks, “I’m working on the nose. I didn’t like the license plate area that looks sorta like this.”
