The guy told us he paid $30000 for this carcus. I guess it might be worth it with all the parts. The guy that owns the place is white but all his salesmen are Russian. At least thats what it sounded like. Front passenger control arms

The guy had escorted us to the car and then left us with the beast. I was tempted to put a brake caliper in my pocket but that's not how I roll...Lol

Apparently this car was torched. That's the secret scoop on why the engine was so nice. The seat frames they wanted $500.

Had a chance to check out a burnt Murcielago in Sacramento. Many of these parts are being sold on Ebay I just took some pictures because it was so interesting how the car was put together. Hope you like the pics. This is a pic of the engine. Was really nice to compare my faux engine with this one.

Ok back to the No Mercy.....Here's the new and improved head for the 3800 SC. You can see the measurements of the grinding of the valves on the heads. Even this seems kinda cool....

The front forks slide into the machined hole of the crossbar. The hole was beveled to get good penetration of the weld. If two pieces of flat steel are butted together and welded the weld might not penetrate all the way through. The idea is to bevel both pieces to create a v-joint (like a valley) then the weld will fill the v-joint and penetrate to the underside. Its a lot easier with flat plate. Pipe or tubing as we call it is a little trickier.....

This is where we prepped the cross bar for the front forks. Prepping helps to give a good clean weld.

There was some interest in the Big Kahuna, so here the uprights I liked the idea of cutting speed holes in it to give it that look.

Here is one of the mounts where the bushing had to be grinded to fit. No harm just looks a little bad.
