  • More progress on helping to bring Project X back to the streets and getting it off the cord.
    In this video I install classic instruments gauges that include a Fuel gauge , oil pressure and engine coolant temperature.
    I also needed to repair some wiring along with turn signal lights.
    Chevy Performance crate motor, It's the most powerful crate engine ever, with the modern convenience of EFI technology, providing more than 1,000 horsepower on 93-octane pump gas.

      A car that has had more driveline combinations than you could poke a stick at, & everyone loses their minds like the electric drivetrain was going to stay in it forever! It was like every other combo that’s been in it, to evaluate, compare & then move on to the next !

    Glad to see that they put a real engine back in there when they made that into an Ev that was a dark time for that car. I'm all for electric vehicles as long as they're fun to drive but let's leave the classics alone

    My Default Rant; What ticked me off the most about the conversions they did on Project X, a 79 blazer and probably others, was that they never intended to to offer it commercially. Neither did Ford when they stuffed a mach-e into an old truck. None of this is about the environment, it's about forcing people to go through cars like they do cell phones.

    When they butchered project X into a EV that was it for me hot rod was officially dead. Thank you for saving project X and making it a real hot rod again hopefully they learned to keep that woke EV crap out of hot rods and got back to real roots. A Big 👍 to you Lucky.

    So they put all that effort, cash, and scientificals into the electric conversion, promised the moon, and talked a good game. Then they took it to the track, put down some truly lame times, broke a part or three, and that was the last we ever heard of it in golf cart form. Seems it didn't *quite* live up to expectations, and I imagine there was some company in-fighting as well. A great company learns from their mistakes, and this company ain't no beer manufacturer.
