John and Matt should have the TA there just finishd her May 1, 2006. It is called the 'Project Home 2010 Vehicle'. An all day project Got to go take the TA for a test drive lets hope there are no problems .
John Obik and Matt Mitch Urquhart had a yellow top in their truck for about 6 yrs beat the heck out of it now it is in their Project Home 2010 Vehicle .
John and Matt had the same GTA wheels on their Project Home 2010 Vehicle TA till they got their ARE 398s that are 16s. I would love to see the snowflakes in a 17. With the 16s 255/50/16 is as big as you can go . A realy wide tire would be great. WOO HOO Matt Urquhart got his fathers day gift 2 floor tickets to Def Leppard and Tesla next week. The girlfriend (someday Matt's wife but Matt is only 19 and her 23 now) must have had a hard time getting them show is sold out. Matt can hardly wait. Matt is going to Def leppard with Tesla next monday thanks to Matt's girlfriend C.B. She got Matt Urquhart tickets for fathers day. John Obik might go with them .
Dont know if Billy The kidd is still around. He was in Torrington. Nice work though. You should take a ride to the track and ask around who does there engines. He loved the work Matt Mitch Urquhart and John Obik did on their Project Home 2010 Vehicle.
John Obik's and Matt Urquhart's toy is a 79 TA. She has a 78 400 block w\ 69 #16 heads, Stock crank that has been cross drilled, Eagle rods pushing keith Black pistons w\ Total Seal gapless rings. The cam is a comp cams 305h. Roller rockers by Harland Sharp. With a Pete Jackson (quit, ya right)Gear Drive. Their engine is toped off with a Torker 2 intake and a Demon carb, W/a Blockers performance BVES air filter to keep the shaker scoop right were it belongs, where Matt's swirley stainless steel club is in the front compartment. Spark and timing are by MSD, Matt and John use a 6AL box w/ a timing computer (no waights in the Distributor all timing handled by the msd computer) and a blaster 2 coil. The timing computer alowes Matt and John to retard their timing when they run their NOS Cheater set up. When they hit the nitrous button the computer will retard the timing the amount they set. Exhaust is moved by a set of Summit Racing headers into a Flowmaster exhaust.
This all makes for a fast and fun to drive TA.
