Congratulations Chad, Well deserved!

Congratulations Chad! Well deserved!

WOW!!! What a week. Finally catching up from being on the road. Des Moines was a fun show. We did auto-x the car there but ultimately decided to show the car in Builder's Choice to which we took a Builder's Choice award. I knew we had to take the car to Columbus and at least take a shot at Street Machine of the Year. So did the 100+ others tell me I really needed to get there...LOL. So back to OK to get the car ready and pack for another road trip.

The car performed well on the Auto-X as I had a few folks tell me later the announcer said I had the fastest time on course yet it needs more gear and still dialing in the shock settings, camber and ride height which I have already started to address. I was also on 300 comp tires with the AL305's and not my GX3's with the Rival's.

Competition was tough with the five finalists. The builds may not have come from the very large well known shops of the past winners but like us they brought their A game. Huge congrats to them as they all deserve the top five finalists award.

Can't say enough about Mountain Home Street Rods (Brett and team)and how they brought my vision together. Distinct Customs on the interior. DSE, Roadster Shop, Michigan Machine Worx, GSpeed, Hermance Designs, Vaporworx, InfinityBox LLC and so many others. Finally thank you to all here on lat-g.

Here are a couple screen captures from the photoshoot.

A huge CONGRATS!! There's no denying greatness.

Amazing brother, absolutely amazing!!!! Congrats!!!!

Absolutely stunning build, the win was well deserved. Most amazing car I've seen in a long time. A friend who's a Mopar guy even sent me a link about it!

Hi Chad,

So after talking with your son I think I found the car he needs and you being such a great Dad. I think you need to buy this for yourself and let him borrow it from time to time.

LS1-Powered 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata 6-Speed

That would be fun. A V6 one just ran a record lap on the 'Ring. They are no joke in the handling department.

NSRA Nationals in Louisville

We will be in the Axalta booth if you are there stop by.

Chad, seeing the hockey Stripe on your car, has me re-thinking mine. Might look good with that vibrant green I have vs doing the Z-28 style stripes!!
Outstanding car bud. I hope the day comes when I can see it in person!!

Something about the hockey stripe on the '69 Camaro but so tough to be different.

Thanks John. It will be at Goodguy's in Scottsdale since it is a Top 12 car and SEMA . More on the SEMA announcement later. Both are close and one is in your backyard.....no excuses.:D

I need to find tickets!!! (2) lol
Thinking about "creating" a business with my car, so I can get in :lol:

Goodguy's is right there tho.

It appears in this vid at 1:32 mark and auto-xing at the 10:45 mark.

Thanks...After Columbus I addressed the rear gear which I already knew was not the right gear (3.50 - originally with a 2.97 T56 mag/BBC) but didn't have time prior. You can tell it was lazy exiting the corners....it isn't now with the 4.11 gear. The 2.29 T56Mag combo is perfect for the rev happy SB4. Fun factor jumped dramatically. Haha.

Hi quality vid from Scottie…
 

He adds the GG auto-x vid at the end…

Very cool man!! That's awesome!! That engine definitely has an exotic sound to it.

Still had the 3:50 gears in it at Columbus. It was lazy on corner exit. A bit more scrappy now. LOL

Yeah baby!!! I saw that video when you posted it on FGCC!! Didn't realize it was with the new gear set.
I really want to go to SEMA, since I'm on vacation that week. Hoping to paint my car when I'm off, but would love to get there, I could can find some tickets.

Hope to see & hear a lot more of it Chad.:thumbsup:

Goodguys Gazette Columbus Issue is online. SEMA is around the corner. Car has been in the shop for the last couple weeks fixing a couple small things and aligning the doors for the final time as they were just a bit off.

So now that SEMA 2021 is a go..... time to spill the beans. We will be in the Mother's Booth but not sure yet whether inside or outside. Hope to see some of you there. And keep an eye out for this....haha

That's bad a$$...!!

SEMA was great. Battle of the Builders we placed in the top 40 overall out of 275 or so entrants and Top 10 in the Hot Rod class. The Hot Rod class top 10 was stacked with multi-million dollar builds. MHSR had a great showing for their first time at SEMA and BOTB. Mother's was a great host. Kind of tight in the booth so tough to get good pics.

Goodguys Scottsdale Nov 19-21 next

Glad I was able to see the car and meet you. Pictures don’t do it justice. Absolute home run!

I just read every post, WOW this Car is freakin awesome!

Congrats on the great showing at SEMA! Glad the show was able to go off without a hitch and that you had fun.

Pleasure to meet you as well. Cliché but the pictures really don't do it justice.

Thank you....that's a lot of scrolling

It was alot of fun. Looking forward to Scottsdale. Hope to get some rolling shots.

The car is fully sorted now and even the Motec dash is now fully functional including the track screen. It is just a blast to drive. With the 2.29 1st and .58 6th trans and 4.11 it still cruises at 2100rpm at 75mph.
