Well, out of impatience and giddy excitement I'm going to share this bit of info:

The '01 Ebony that was Velvis' before he provided a home for my Dragon is about to begin its transformation into an Open Class rally truck. After we finish removing the entire interior it will go to Atlanta for a custom FIA-spec cage and the engine will be setup to run dual turbos feeding the engine through a twin-inlet top-mount intercooler, exhausting it all from dual oval-sectioned side pipes. Engine management will be MegaSquirt and the driveline will get the Aisin 5-speed and retain the TOD. The damaged front end will be completely replaced by a FRP one piece tilt-forward nose removeable with just two quick-pins.

The fabricator and I have agreed to not have a set schedule on anything, just to move along as I can come up with $$$ as needed. So I'll post any interesting news or photos as they become available.

To the best of my knowledge and those in the North American rally community, this will be the only VehiCROSS competing at any level of the sport.

All I know is that I want pics of the stage workers faces the first time they see it!
