Maybe you saw it at one of those shows. It is also in the January issue of Super Rod magazine. Are you going to any of the Autorama/World of Wheels shows this winter?


Planning on going to some this next Winter after Its COMPLETLY done.

Great color scheme! I may have to do a variation of that on my '68. :D

Sweet
 
That stane looks great. I have 69 bird that I am getting ready to do after the Chevelle gets done and That is the best stance that I have seen. Do you mind me asking what suspension mods you have?

I have Fatman Fab 2" drop spindles and QA1 adjustable coilovers on the front, and Hotchkis drop springs and drop blocks on the rear. I had to do modifications to both the front and the rear to get it to ride that low without air ride. I don't have any rubbing issues either, which is a plus. I am running 18x8's on the front and 20x9.5 on the rear. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Derrick, I appreciate it.

IMO - Why? If you take the car to one ISCA show, all the others are the same.
Lot's of time and money.... My two cents.

Looks great, will it be at Detroit in March?

Derrick M 01-03-2007 09:11 PM

Roger- I don't quite understand your statement. On that rationale, if you went to one cruise in or drag race, why would you go to another because they are all the same? For the fun of it, that's why. I am a competition member, so they pay travel money, which helps some. I just like going to car shows. I really like meeting and talking to all the people. I like the Goodguys shows and ISCA shows because there are always a ton of awesome cars there. It is really neat seeing how everybody has a different idea of how to build a car, and what they do to their cars. Besides, who doesn't like looking at cars?

Jeff- Thanks for the compliment, as for Detroit, I sent an entry in, so I hope so.
