**The BLACK COUPE Build..From"JYD" to "True10.5 Showcar"**
I've been meaning to post a thread on this car for a while but now that it's nearing completion I think I will just skip all the suspense of the past year and a half that it's been getting put together. This is my good friend Travis' car that he's been busting his ass on for years. He's been telling me to do this for a while and im finally getting around to it. But I figure instead of just letting people know what's going on now, i'd like to show the real beginings and how the car got to where it is today. Back in the days of running low 10's and 9's then blowin a head gasket at the track friday, having it tore down and fixed by saturday night. This is the car that started to get our name out there, it was known as the "JYD Coupe". It had a rough life in the beginning but now it sits pampered in its' own personal heated and cooled garage.
It had a stock block 331, stock fuel system, stock computer, dry kit, and a STOCK t-5. People laughed as we pushed it thru the staging lanes cause it was about 4 different colors, primered quarter panel, mismatched hood with a 1" of dust n dirt on it. As soon as it left they sure changed there mind's real quick and knew it wasn't there for no damn car show. It broke necks all right...when the score board lit up and even more so when people would come up to ask what the hell was in it. [size=14pt]OLD VIDEO[/size] BPA's Black Coupe-STOCK T-5- Video BPA Stangs - Video Racing a local street racing legend @ TAD...Black55 footbrakes a .400light and PJ hunts him down http://centexhotrods.com/rudy/LilBlack89vsBlack55.mpeg This is what a 9.81 @140 T-5 car looks like....   Doesn't look like much does it??? It was a moneymaked though that's for sure.   LOL the vid of this pass the mic on my camera picked up this redneck dude saying "He aint gonna stop dat sumbitch in da quarter mile"  Well it's now 2007 and the car now has a Dart block 348, AFR 205's, Carb, and a G-force T-5. Oh yeah it's also all 1 color now and the engine bay has been filled in. Unfortunatly carb and motor problems we never got a real good pass on it as we were still learning the carb thing when the motor needed some attention. It ran a best of 10.3 @133 N/A with the 5spd and was only shifted at 6500 or so due to the synchro's. It was designed for 7200 rpm shifts so needles to say there was some power that was being left out. I remember this day pretty vividly....stopped by and Travis was so excited he just got his Pro-systems carb in and it was money well spent. Unfortunatly we couldn't take the car out to test because there was scattered showers everywhere. I really wish we did otherwise we would of avoided probably the worst night of our life's when we got hit by a drunk driver later that night. The good thing is everybody is ok today but definatly a day I wont soon forget.    Here's the aftermath with Travis' truck...   With all that behind it was time to re-do the car. The Autopower cage just wasn't going to cut it anymore, motor needed a little more :chacha: and since it was going to be down for a while there was no sense in not tryin to do it right the first time. Sent off to Manny's Custom Chassis for a Moly cage and mini-tub...      While we waited for the chassis to be done. The garage was added on to so the car had it's own room, LOL. With all the amenities, A/C , Heat, Air connections, TV, and surround sound for some motivational music of course. Im still trying to get them to add that stripper pole and bunk beds though... to no avail :ahah: Excuse my mess on the side of the shop. I had my motors and parts scattered over there...    Hmm painted valve cover or carbon fiber???

Engine Bay gettin redone and all smoothed out...
 Antone filling up some holes left from when it was EFI  After a trip to Mark's House where he, Pj, and Antone worked there magic. They make it look too easy...   Time to drop the little bird motor in there as we call it...  My dad and Travis puttine the back window back in.  Time for wiring...Matt did a killer job re-wiring the entire car with the painless kit. I think first thing wired was the nitrous kit....LOL you know we cant forget that.  Time to get the interior in, new carpet, seat, and re did the dash and all the panels.  Mounted shifter, added gauge cluster, and shift light  Can't forget the passenger seat for the girlfriend....she doesn't know it but she gets to hold the NOS bottles  I found a deal on these Alumastars as the prostars didnt have the offset needed. Little polishing and they were as good as new.  Here she sits now. Got the front end off and PJ is painting it and adding the lower valence to it.    Oh yeah a couple motor pics.   So that's where we are at today. The doors are currently off and Pj is painting them as the front end is already painted so the car should be in the body shop this week for the rest of the car. I will have pics once i'ts all back together and hopefully we can start testing soon and see what this little bird motor can do and learn a little more on the nitrous and carb setup before we step up the game. But dont worry it wont be long now. Badass Car you built there Travis. Im sure he wants to thank all the friends involved in making this happen, Antone, Mark, Pj, Matt, Manny, Jay P, Buck, and we cant forget about Bob

Here's some updated pics from last week. I didn't get a chance to stop by and get pics of it in the booth because they already had the entire car knocked out in 2 days and it was already back getting the front end put on. It's got all new Ford OEM side moldings on it just waiting for a few that were backordered. Also hood was ordered as well but it's a month out so wont have any complete pics for a while. Also gonna drop the front end with some softer springs and get it cut and buffed when it's finally in 1 piece. In the meantime gonna take it to the chassis shop and get it scaled and what not, some new tint, finish interior, and check everything over 2 or 3 times so it will be ready to rock and roll come late march or early april.

My wife saw the pic of your truck, trailer and Mustang combo as I was reading this thread as she walked by and said " That's your dream huh Hon?" she was oh so right. I was contemplating dark blue or black after seeing your car there is no question straight and black it is
 Thank you for the thread I hope you enjoy driving your baby. Shout out from Montreal Canada ! |

Man that brings back some memories!!! I remember the car just as you said in the begining. Hard to believe that was so long ago. Seeing everyone in the pictures is just crazy how everyone is older and grown up. Car looks amazing!!!! That bad boy has come a long long long long long way. Is Travis driving it these days? That crash looks bad!!! thank god he was ok!!!

 We're all excited just to get our ass back to the track and have some fun because that's what it's all about for us.So it's been a month and have just been trying to get together alot of little stuff. The car went to the chassis shop and got scaled and new front and rear springs installed. Also made a gear change, added the moldings and badges, and still working on the wiring. Matt and Travis got the lights, brake lights and the power windows working. But everything is headed in the right direction, that is if the hood would get here anytime soon.... :bang: Cant wait to take the car out for some testing as there's a big learning curve ahead so we'll take it one step at a time and hopefully good things happen. STAY TUNED..... Ready to go back to the chassis shop....     Picked her up from the chassis shop...  Back Home....  Travis tearing down the rearend so we can make a gear change  My dad and Joe setting up the new gears...  Matt wiring up the lights   Got the door panels installed and the new Guages look badass.  Had the crew out doing what they do best  and......  Here she sits almost ready.

Hopefully it goes a little faster than the 9.8's it went years ago but only time will tell. If it doesn't you might see it for sale in the classifieds, LOL
The month has been slow haven't got to do much work to the car but there's not much left. Travis got a nice break from this and went on a cruise so didnt get anything done that week. But now he's back and it's time to bust ass and get this thing done. Unfortunatly I go on my cruise the end of May and it appears I might miss the debut of the car which would SUCK. Hopefully we can get it out before then though. We had to take the tranny out because it was leaking from the front pump and had everything checked out and found out the clutches were gone. Yeah that sucked but we're gonna get that fixed and get a couple upgrades done as well, prolly change the stall on the converter while it's out as well. Finally got the Hood in....  Pj working his magic on it....  Finally got it mounted on there.   Another Pic of the gauges all lit up. Should look pretty good at nite  Oh yeah almost forgot picked up a new 28ft Enclosed Trailer. Got a killer deal on it and went and picked it up straight from the factory in Waco. Luckily a deposit was put on it before Travis went on vacation as apparently 4 people where ready to buy it. Had to get it with A/C as well cause it's too damn hot down here in the summer not to have it.  Pretty much has everything we could ask for aside from a shitter and a stripper pole.....   Well got the hood painted and mounted, just need a couple more fasteners on the front and she should be ready to go.... Cant wait to get it out in some sunlight and get some better pics.
