Maybe a little different, at least I've never seen one yet.

65 Porsche 356 coupe - cut it down the middle - widen it 9 inches and stuff a 2002 vette C5 drive and suspension under it. Upsets the Porsche and Vette guys all at the same time ... an equal opportunity offender. :yes:

Hey now, that '61 Impala, '62 BelAir roof has to be the best looking roof ever designed! 'Course I am a bit biased, I used to own a '61 Impala, bored & stroked 409, 4-speed. Passed everything but a gas station!

Keep us posted on the '61!

Shiny Side Up!

Another one from the land of 14-inch Cragars (and RWL tires!!)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/1192966...7594110671642/

My '67 Malibu wagon...Captions on the pics will tell the tale, but it's basically your standard 545-horse 87-octane 383, backed with a T56 and a 9-inch, with SC&C front arms, AFX spindles, 14-inch Baer 6S brakes in front, and Hotchkis arms, QA1 adjustable shocks, and Currie's discs out back. It's on 17x8s, and will be getting stickier tires before it hits the track again.

I'm buffing the new paint now, and it'll get the new glass and trim installed real soon. I can't wait...It might be the coolest '67 Chevelle wagon in Minnesota, but ya never know..! Derek's '66 is close!

Hey Scott, what'd it run in the 1/4?

Ben@SpeedTech 07-29-2014 04:54 PM

I was hoping to be different with a wagon, but a couple of you guys beat me to it. Maybe we're extra different because both my 16 year old son and I have one :). We both have lots of update photos but haven't got them up yet, will soon. Here's an old pic of mine at an RTTH event, and a couple pics of us at a local drag event a couple months ago. My car is getting converted to Speedtech coilover suspension and he'll inherit my current set up. He just recently bought a 5 speed for his, and we're probably going to be slipping a 400 small block in his too.
