This is probably one of the craziest projects that I have ever seen, and I thought Volvo Station wagons with LS1's were cool.

i just cant picture a CL doing a RWD burnout!!!!!!! I cant do it!!!, there better be like 294729472 vids of this thing...itd be awesome if it looked like a stock CL with just tints to hide interior, and you know huge tires for some odd unknown reason LOL...but all of that would only make sense for a street legal sleeper...something tells me thats not exactly what thinjims going for...hmmmm

Well, ever see a funny car? They're supposed to look like some production car . . . but once you take lif the fiberglass body off . . . it looks similar to what Thin Jim's does. Basically, it's what ever the body is made to look like, and it looks like a CL to me.

Here's a quickie link . . . note, it's called an Impala SS, but is it really, how much of what's under the body an Impala? Nothing really

I try not to cuss on the forum, but in this thread im sorry...but holy FUCK dude!

This is an engineering masterpiece for the J32. We've seen the orange drift Honda Element with the J32, and now we're about to see a J32 powered drag CL. Totally inspirational thinjim!

DO WORK!

Lol, this is ridiculous, but in a good way. When I look at the pictures, here is what I wonder to myself::

Where the hell do you even start with a project like this and if I started it would I finish before I was 90?

I don't think I can truly appreciate the work put into this project because I have never tackled something of this caliber.

Nice work

Still kickin' around the CL forum from time to time.

My CL pretty much sits at the office now and I drive a Nissan Frontier work bought for me.

I'd like to sell it. Cheap too. <$11k

Here's a few pics, been slow lately, waiting for one part now for nearly a month. For the most part, it's done. Once the part I've been waiting on comes in, we'll finish up a few loose ends and then it's off to the powder shop.

Yep, It'll be on gas. What gave it away, the big honken IC? LOL

The turbo is limited to a 72mm wheel, the other specs of it will be kept close to the vest.
