What’s your real name? My real Name is Mark Selig

(What’s your online screen name?) My screen name is Tachout.  I had that name hung on me a long time ago when I was in High School.  It means driving past the red line.  I had this 1977 Camaro and I would drive around in first gear, running it until I could hear the valves start to float, and then just step on the clutch and letting it coast.

Where do you live? I live in Sandy, Utah

What do you do for a living? I do custom home designs and work for a production home builder.

What GM(s) do you currently own? I have a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban that I have had for 5 years.  I also have a 1990 Corvette convertible that I have had for about 2 weeks and a 1990 Chevrolet Corvette coupe I have had for about 5 Years.

What originally attracted you to the Corvette? When I was much younger my dad used to say that the true sign of success was a Mercedes, and at that time I would look at the C2 and C3 Corvettes and say to myself that is the true sign that you are successful.  The guys I saw driving those cars all seemed to be successful.

You’re doing a pretty immense build on your 1990 Corvette coupe. Can you tell us about it (time frame, goals, etc)? I really should start by saying that originally I wasn’t planning on doing this much.  Driving home from work one night, not doing more than 30 I started to hear a knock and I knew what it was.  I did ask someone to come over to look and listen and then confirm that it was at least one rod knock.  Well I sat down for a week or so thinking, and as I start prep and planning I took a look at the weak points.  Sure enough it started to get out of hand fast.  First it was “I will just build a 383 and go from there”.  Well the transmission was questioned, and yes I know it was going fast. Well let’s go with a TH400.  From there I thought about a week on going Pro Street or just keeping the stock look.  At the same time I knew that if I were to do much to it, I should put some sort of a roll bar or cage in the car if I were going to go out and beat on it much.  If I planned on doing Pro Street I would need to back half the car.

Well let’s move to now.  I bought a used Motor that needs to visit the machine shop but is top shelf on parts.  I have a TH400 core that has been dismantled so I can get under the car with it and build a cross member.

What work is completed?  I have a full 10 point cage in the car.  I need to add two front frame to front down tube supports and then it will be an IHRA Certified cage down to 8.5 Seconds.  I do not plan on the car going that fast, but I like to know it is safe.  I have the car back halved, and the rear end has been replaced with a Narrowed Ford 9”.  It is set up for rear coil overs.  I need to make a few changes to the rear suspension and add in the wheelie bar mounts.  I have to also add a receiver hitch for the Parachute mount.  Soon I will be adding in the tubs and the interior sheet metal.  Once that is completed, I am going to put the full interior back in the car and set it up for the transmission mount inside the car.

Then things start to get expensive.  The engine will be off to the machine shop, the transmission off to my transmission guy. The engine machine work and short block assembly should be done about the same time as the transmission.  So far I have done 100% of the work myself, and I plan on doing most of the hands on with the guy rebuilding my transmission.  I am having the short block build by a pro engine builder just because of what I am planning for the rest of the build.  Once the short block and transmission are in, I am going to have a driveshaft built for the car. I’ll work to finish the buildup of the engine and then start the fabrication of the custom exhaust system.  Mind you, a large part of this build is a pair of twin GT3788 turbochargers, an intercooler and a 3 stage meth injection system.  I already own the Gen VII for the computer controls.  There will be a ton of electronics to take care of on this car, so I will have my work cut out for me there.

As for a time frame on this car . . . a lot of that depends on the economy and parts availability at the right price when I have the cash. I am guessing it will start to come to final assembly by the spring of next year.

Have a favorite story to tell about your Corvette? A favorite story about my Corvette, no not really, however I do love to push it out into the driveway on the weekend, and enjoy a cup of coffee while I plan on what I am going to do that day.  It amazes me how many people stop, look, and even take pictures of it.  No interior, no engine, some of the body missing and they still stop.

Who has helped you the most along the way with the car? Any mentors? I would say that Vince Lung has been one of my biggest help with the car. Bruce Osborne would be my true mentor, and I get a ton of support from the Utah Vette’s Community.

What’s the best part about being a Corvette owner? The best part of being a Corvette owner is the others in the community.  I just love listening and talking with other Corvette owners.

The most challenging? So far I’ve done 100% of the work myself and will have very minimal help throughout the build by my choice.  Hardest part is getting people to understand I can do this myself. Everyone seems to look at me like he is just a guy who works on a computer.  Before I worked on the computer as a home designer I built all kinds of different cars. From full on race cars, street cars and show cars.  I am a Lincoln Tech Grad, and graduated with Honors. I worked as a mechanic  for a Lexus dealership. I’ve also worked for a couple of California general repair shops and ran a mobile mechanic service for a couple of years.  I was ASE certified and although it has been quite a few years since I did this heavy a build, I have built several of these from the ground up.  Mind you a C4 is not like doing a first gen Camaro.  I have built a couple of these out of C2 bodies when I worked for Bruce Osborne Corvette Specialties and BOSS Racing.

How often do you get together with other Corvette owners in person? I try to get together with other owners as often as possible.  I am going to be a regular at a Saturday morning cars and coffee, and once the coupe is completed, at least every other Friday I will be out at the track having fun with it.

Do you spend time on any Corvette sites? Yes Which ones? Corvette sites would be the National Corvette Forum and Utah Vettes. Other sites I frequent would be the Utah Muscle Car Association and theFoat.com

Modification list?
377 Small block Chevy, Tuned Port Injected (One off Lingenfelter), stage 3 Snow System (Meth Injection) with Twin GTC3788 Turbochargers.  I also have an intercooler planed for this build.  This motor runs a dry sump oil system and will include a custom separate oiling/cooling system for the Turbo System.  Replace the TH700R4 with a TH400 with manual valve body.  Narrowed Ford 9” Rear, 4-Link rear suspension with Coil overs.  Upgraded front brakes to C5 brakes and upgraded rear brakes to something aftermarket.

On this car, just about everything drive train is going to be upgraded.  Rear tires are Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro Tires (33X21.5X15’s) on Centerline Comp Rev Wheels.  Fronts will be M&H Frontrunner tires on Centerline Comp Rev Wheels.

Are you on Twitter?  Facebook?  How can people find you online? I am not on Twitter, but am on Facebook.  I am also on several forums and can be contacted by either my name or screen name.  Just do a search for Tachout on any forum and most of them are me (there is a guy out in Cali that uses my name).  If you are on Facebook or want to Yahoo me I am markselig on both of them.  I welcome all questions and comments, good or bad.  If you would like to follow my build with pictures and comments look on Utah Vettes, Utah Muscle Car Association, or theFoat.com.

What’s your real name?  (What’s your online screen name?)
Ben Meissner, 406nova or SRD art

Where do you live?
Eagle Mountain, UT

What do you do for a living?
I own and run Street Rod Designs where I design and illustrate hot rods
and custom cars, do T-shirt designs, and all types of graphic and
marketing design. www.streetroddesigns.com shows a few samples.

What GM(s) do you currently own?
1979 Olds Cutlass Wagon, 406 small block Chevy power
1977 Chevy Suburban 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive, 454 power
1976 Chevy Suburban 1/2 ton lifted 4X4, 406 power
1974 Chevy Nova street-strip, 406 power
1973 Chevy Nova resto-mod, 406 power

What got you into GM(s)?
I guess it’s in the blood, my grandfather worked in a GM plant in NY for
his entire career. When I was 12 I got my first Hot Rod mag and inside was
a photo of a Nova doing a smokey burnout. At that point I knew I wanted a
Nova and have always owned at least one Nova since I was 17, back in 1987.

What made you build a 1979 Oldsmobile cutlass wagon?
I needed something with better than a Suburban mpg that could haul my
vendor booth stuff to car shows. I knew a rodded station wagon would haul
stuff just fine and as a daily driver catch a lot of attention. With my
company name on the side it’s like a free rolling billboard. Most folks
build Malibu wagons, I like it because it’s not like everyone else’s yet
still a GM. I got a great deal on it too, I drove it home for only $300.

Have a favorite story to tell about your wagon?
I love what people say about it. Once after pulling into a store parking
lot a little kid said to his brother, “Check it out dude! That guy’s car
sounds like a truck! Cool!” I often hear things like, “Hey I’ve seen your
car running around. My wife thinks it’s ugly but I think it’s way bad!”

My greatest memories with it are by far taking my kids drifting around the
neighborhood in the snow. They all think it’s awesome to drive down the
road sideways.

What’s next for your wagon?  Why?
Full Pro-touring treatment as seen in my artwork, I want to get into and
do well at auto-crossing later this year. Eventually I want to slip my
drag Nova’s built 406 into it and try my hand at drift racing. I’d love to
put the imports to shame with a big ol’ family car station wagon. I’ve
joked with my wife about getting 1 woman and 3 kid mannequins, strap them
in the car with helmets on and put some bags of groceries in the back
while I slide around the course. Lol!

Who has done most of the modifications on your wagon?
I do all my own work aside from exhaust. Rick’s Muffler in Orem, UT helps
me out there.

What was your favorite modification?  Why?
My wagon follows my tradition of dare to be different, and my favorite mod
was dropping it in the weeds and adding the 16″ wheels. Why? It’s crazy.
Who would slam a station wagon??  It’s a suspension drop so it’s that low
all the time, every last speed bump. ;)

Who has helped you the most along the way?
I started reading car mags at 12 and got most of the basic concepts down
before I could drive. Since I started driving I’ve been blessed with a
great deal of very kind mentors that have opened up and shared insight and
direction along the way when I needed it. There are too many to list but a
big thanks to them all.

Is there a particular shop you’d like to recommend?
Being a designer, my local hero is Dave Kindig of Kindigit Design in Salt
Lake City. From what I’ve seen in his shop it’s the place if you want a
high dollar sculpture on wheels built in Utah. He has a great sense of
what good design is. There are a lot of shops that build hot rods, but
Dave builds show winners.

I used to work for a shop called Excel Autocraft in Sandy, UT. Mark also
has a great attention for detail. His forte is immaculate muscle car
restorations and some mild hot rod stuff. After working for him I gained a
strong understanding of why you go the extra mile to make sure everything
is done just right.

For everyday needs and high performance help, Vince of Lung Automotive in
Lehi, UT is the guy I would take any of my cars to if I couldn’t work on
them myself.

Do you spend time on any GM sites?  Which ones?

Where do you live?
Roy, Utah

What do you do for a living?
Aircraft Structural Mechanic

What GM(s) do you drive?
1936 Chevy truck

How long have you had your GM(s)?
A little over a year

What got you into GM(s)?
I’ve always liked Chevy’s but I didn’t really get into them until I met my friend James Lavery. James has a 39 Chevy truck and he let me borrow his for about a week when I barely even knew him. I thought that was the coolest thing I’ve seen someone do for someone else.

Have a favorite story to tell about your truck?
Cruising at the Salt Flats this past year was one memory I’ll never forget.

What was your favorite modification to your truck? Why?
I don’t know that is really tough. It’s a toss up between the chop and motor. I’ll have to go with the motor though. I just love the look of it. Most people don’t know what motor it is or they ask if it’s a 348/409?

What’s next for your truck?  Why?
I would like to try and find some 17” Chevy artillery wheels. That is how I’ve always pictured the truck. Those wheels are very hard to find but I really think they would make the truck.

Who has done most of the modifications on your truck? If you, what have you learned?
I’ll be totally honest, James built a good portion of the truck. When I bought it, he had already chopped the top, made the frame and most of the suspension and also mounted the 348 and trans. It was a roller when I took over the project.  I welded up a few patches in the cab and made the floor and driveshaft tunnel of the cab myself.

I fabricated the headers with some help from James. I cut the bed to 4 ft. and mounted it to the frame. I also made the wood floor for the bed.  I also made all the brake/gas lines and mounted the fuel tank and the battery box “Jack Daniel’s box”.

Mounted the radiator and had to make a custom bottom radiator hose because nothing I found would fit. With help of my Dad we put the newly rebuilt carburetors, distributor, coil, water pump, starter, and alternator. We also put in a new wiring harness and fuse box.

I also do upholstery on the side and custom made the seat and re-upholstered it with real tuck and roll. I drilled and mounted the friction shocks. Hmm . . . there was a lot.

I learned a lot building this truck. I know I drove James and few other friends crazy with all my questions but they always helped me out. I can’t really name just one thing because there was so much I learned because this was my first build. I had a lot of fun doing it though.

Why did you go with the Chevy 348 motor?
When I bought the truck from James the motor was already in the truck. We were originally going to take that motor out and put a 350 in it but I just fell in love with the motor and had to have it. I think it really makes the whole truck

Who has helped you the most along the way?
Obviously James, lol. My friend Troy, my Dad and of course my awesome wife, Jodie. I couldn’t believe she put up with me working on that thing so much.

Is there a particular shop you’d like to recommend?
McNeese Enterprises Shop in SLC.

Do you spend time on any GM sites?  Which ones?
It’s not GM specific but the HAMB.

Modification list?
Top is chopped a lot, custom headers, chevy 348, bed shortened to 4 ft., 1940 chevy car frame heavily modified, three Stromburg 48’s, Custom Upholstery/Seat, 32 Chrysler hood ornament, 4 speed manual trans, Antique Jack Daniel’s ” battery box”, 1940 Chevy steering wheel, Aluminum fuel cell, 1938 Chevy truck tail lights, vintage after market headlights and marker lights, friction shocks.

Where do you live?
I live in Lehi, Utah.

What do you do for a living?
I’m a mortgage consultant and also the proud owner of Chief the skate boarding bulldog.

What GM(s) do you currently own?
I currently own A 2009 Malibu LTZ limited, 2010 2SS RS 426 horse 6 speed manual transmission Camaro and a 1969 SS 396 350 horse convertible Camaro.

What got you into GM(s)?
Way back in High school in the mid 70’s I loved Camaros and all the neat 60’s Chevrolets that are classics today. The Camaros were too expensive to buy then because they hadn’t been out very long, so my first Chevrolet was a 1965 SS 327 Impala 4 speed for the very hefty sum of $500.00. A lot of money for a 16 year old kid.

How many Camaros have you had and how long have you been collecting them?
I have owned approximately 25 first generation Camaros! I went to a car show in the mid 80’s and met a man named Randy Young who owned A 1969 Camaro Indy Pace car convertible. It was the neatest car I had ever seen! I asked him if he would sell it and he said no, but he had another one at home. I went there, bought it and the rest is history! I have since owned three Indy Pace cars, two original Z/28’s, multiple convertibles, many hardtop SS’s and I will probably be buried in one.

What made you buy your 2010 Camaro?
I was going to wait for the convertible model to come out, but I have a great relationship with Greg Paulos and Clay Lyon at Gus Paulos Chevrolet. Clay called me one day and said another GM dealer had ordered a fully loaded red 2010 Camaro then GM canceled his franchise so he got mad and canceled the car. Clay knew if he sold the Camaro to me he would get a lot of good publicity and more sales out of it because I am well known in Camaro circles. I found out later it was the second 2SS in the state and the first 6 speed manual!

Have a favorite story to tell about your 2010 Camaro?
The car was a hit from the moment it hit the street. I would pull in to get gasoline and a crowd would surround the car. People in German luxury cars were taking pictures of it as I went down the freeway! The Camaro is well loved all across America and people were proud that such a great Icon had returned to the road! The best part was its reputation had proceeded itself and most Mustang owners would just wave as I went by knowing that I could blow their doors off!

What’s next for your 2010 Camaro? Why?
I will continue to enjoy the car and next summer I plan to show the 2010 Camaro and the 1969 Camaro together in car shows. I love to show particularly young people the cars. I had a bunch of teenage boys surround the 2010 at a show last year and they were talking about the stats of the car and knew all about the cars great performance. That was a great feeling to see American kids liking American cars instead of the Japanese tuners. That’s what it is all about!

What makes you keep buying the GM brand?
It’s the best bang for the buck in the world and Camaros are magical!

What do you see as the biggest challenge facing the GM community today?
They have to become economically solvent again and we as Americans need to buy American.

Do you spend time on any GM sites?  Which ones?
I spend a lot of time on RacingJunk.com, Hemmings Motor News and any sites that has Camaros or Camaro parts for sale.

Any modifications to your 2010 Camaro?
I don’t modify my Camaros, time has proven that the clean original cars end up being the most valuable. However, I know that there are a lot of fans out there trying to find all the parts that will give them street supremacy and that’s OK to. My motto has always been leave it the way the general built it!

What is your real name?
Ella Lung

Where do you live?
Pleasant Grove, Utah

What do you do for a living?
Co-own and operate an automotive repair shop; housewife and I also take care of two small children – a one-year old little girl and an eight year old little boy.

What GM(s) do you drive?
2002 Z06 Chevrolet Corvette, 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible and a 2004 Cadillac Escalade.

How long have you had your GM(s)?
We have owned the Corvette for a little more than three years and the Firebird almost five years.

What got you into GM(s)?
My mom drove a 1979 Firebird.

Have a favorite story to tell about your Firebird?
My favorite story is when we take the Firebird to car shows and people look at the before pictures of the car. They are completely amazed by the car now.  Oh ya, and the other one is when my husband tells them it’s not his it his wife’s!

How many cars shows do you attend each year with your Firebird?
I currently attend three or four plus a few local cruise-in’s.

What do you love most about car shows?
Having it be one of the only really nice Firebirds, most of the old cars like mine are Camaros. That and the dropped jaws when most people see it. Some people just can’t get over how nice it is. Hell, I still have trouble with that.

What are your goals for your Firebird?
Spend more time behind the wheel of it or find someone who will. The car doesn’t get 200 miles a year on it, maybe fifty if I’m lucky!

When was the last time you took your Firebird out for a cruise?
I took it on the Alpine Loop (in Utah) late in the fall, I think the first part of November 2009.

What do you love most about driving it?
The feel of it, how fast it gets up and goes.

What’s next for your Firebird?
Possibly a stereo if I can bring myself to cut the dash.

What is your favorite mod you’ve done on your Firebird?
428 stoker engine.

Who has helped you the most along the way?
My husband has pretty much built the car from the ground up, everything but paint and Triple R restoration took care of that.

Any advice for women who want to get into cars?
I would have to say go for it!! Get the one you want the first time around. Don’t settle for less, make it the way it want it. Oh and pray to God your husband is understanding like mine and doesn’t mind that you have a nicer car than his.

Who do you look up to in the GM community?
I would have to say the designers of the car, they sure don’t make them like that now!

Is there a particular shop you’d recommend?
Sure, mine. Lung Automotive in Lehi, Utah.

Do you spend time on other GM sites?
Just browsing on Performance Years and Corvette Forum.

How long have you had your GM(s)?
I have owned the Corvette for a little more than 3 years, the Trans Am almost 25 years!

What got you into GM(s)?
Definitely the Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit. I loved to watch them do huge burnouts and just tear it up with the TA.

Have a favorite story to tell about your Corvette?
Probably a recent one that happened at the drag strip. Since the car is reasonably fast, I am running in one of the pro classes at our local track. Now the car still looks and sounds relatively stock so occasionally I’ll get told to go back and line up with the street legal guys, but in this instance it was just an idle chat with a fellow racer. The guy behind me was trying to accurately dial in his car. He was debating on a 10.12 or 10.08. I sat and watched, then finally walked over and talked to him. His car is a full tube chassis, BBC pro stock style car complete with chute and a HUGE set of slicks. I look it over and we talk for a few, he asks what I dialed in at. I tell him 10.18, as I have ran 10.12 and a 10.20 and the car generally gets faster in the cool evening air. He looks at me like I am from another planet, points to the vette and says, “That car?” “Yes, that car!” We proceed to line up. Me listening to the radio while I wait for our turn. Him sweating inside his hot race car. We proceed to run, I turn a 10.11 and he runs about a 10.09, but I beat him at the lights for the win. He stops me on the return road in utter amazement. How big a shot of Nitrous am I spraying, he asks. None, don’t even have a bottle in the car, as I collect what turns out to be one of the fastest time slips to date. I love the look on people’s faces when they see the car perform at the track! And it does so with full interior, AC, power windows and all.

Videos of Vince racing his Z06: http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p123/markselig/?action=view&current=2009_07160005.flv and  http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p123/markselig/?action=view&current=2009_07160005.flv

What are your goals for your Corvette and how close are you to achieving them?
My initial goal was to see the car run comfortably in the 10s at our track. I achieved that and more this year, getting the car down as low as 10.09 at 140mph plus and I believe there are some 9 second runs left in it for next year. I just need to do my job driving, the car has plenty left!

Who has done most of the modifications on your Corvette? If you, what have you learned?
I have done virtually everything on my car with the exception of the actual roll cage install. I did strip the car and assisted in the design. I have learned tons about what NOT to do, what the weak spots are on the car, how to drag race a six speed IRS car efficiently without breaking it and how truly streetable a high HP turbo car can be.

What was your favorite modification?  Why?
I would have to say the twin turbo kit from TTi, exceeded my wildest expectations for a true street car!

What’s next for your Corvette?  Why?
Refining the package, some double adjustable remote reservoir shocks, progressive boost controller and some minor tweaking of the 2step. All in the quest for a 9 second street ride.

Who has helped you the most along the way?
My wife has been by my side, many friends on the corvette forum and my good friend Bob Pickering who cheers me on every race! And I can’t forget my Dad, who made it out many times this year as well. I have a very supportive family.

What are two things you’ve learned about yourself while building this car?
I learned that persistence, plenty of help as well as believing in yourself will see you through tough times. I also learned that you can never have too many friends or a big enough support group!

Who do you look up to in the GM community?
I would have to say the East coast guys, as they have raised the bar for FI Corvettes across the US. I wish I could make a trip back to the East coast and run with some of the fastest Vettes on the net. I feel the car would do very nicely.

Is there a particular shop you’d like to recommend?
Sure, mine! Lung Automotive in Lehi, Utah.

Do you spend time on any GM sites?  Which ones?
Yes. LS1 tech, Corvette forum, Digital Corvettes, Performance years, Realoldspower.com

Mod list
Virtually every mechanical component on the car HAS been modified, from a custom twin in tank return type boost referenced fuel system to the custom rear mount battery and cutoff switch.

Lets see, the engine is a Forged 402 LS2 stroker based on a new LS2 block, prepped and stuffed with a Eagle 4″ stroker crank, Fluidampr harmonic dampner, Callies Compstar rods, Diamond Forged dished low comp pistons, Diamond pro-select rings and Clevite bearings. ARP main and head stud kits hold everything together with a custom grind turbo cam. TEA 245 stage3 heads, Jesel J2K adjustable shaft mount rockers, C5R valve covers, ported LS2 90mm intake, ported 90mm TB, TTix twin turbo system, twin nozzle progressive methanol injection. Also installed but not tested is a 90mm plate nitrous system with Microedge nitrous controller. An LPE 2-step helps keep the launch RPMs consistent as well as allowing the engine to build boost.

A Custom line lock setup allows me to warm up the CCW drag pack and M&H Racemaster DOT slicks that are ran when we race it. Power is transmitted through a twin disc textralia clutch, protected by a Quicktime scatter shield to a modified MN12 six speed transmission. A 30 spline output shaft transfers the power to a C6Z rear diff conversion then on to the wheels.

A Custom built 10pt roll cage with dual swing out door bars and 5 point Simpson quick release harnesses keep you strapped in tight. Soon to be installed Firebottle onboard fire extinguisher will offer additional protection to the driver and engine. Vital systems are monitored by a SPA dual readout gauge setup as well as an Innovative XD16 WB O2 sensor and Blitz SBC-ID adjustable boost controller.

The car is kept as close to stock appearing as possible while still being legal to race with Toyo T1R tires on stock Z06 wheels for the street and stock millennium yellow paint on a completely refinished body. Running on premium pump gas and approx 15lbs of boost the car has run a fastest time of 10.09 at 140 plus at Rocky Mountain Raceway and is regularly street driven by my wife.
