Starting the year off right, Skip. Love the 76 Chevy. That's a high end build with amazing detail. The C1 Vette is gorgeous, too.

That truck is beautiful...

Agreed...I’ll never look at squarebodies the same. :cool:

If/when I sell the TA, I'm thinking I need to pick up a square body. That truck is really pushing me in that direction.

Trey,

In case you need another push...
:D

Link to the detailed build page...has a boatload of great pics too.

Well...since were talking squarebody’s...I keep one in my shop I built. It’s my brothers. He bought it new in 87’. Took me 20 years due to my brother having 6 kids and always putting them first.
Yes, 1 owner 50k miles. He custom ordered it, back when you could do that. 350, 4 sod, a/c, posi, and 3.73 gears. Midnight blue. Front appearance package. He was 19. I drove this to school once in 88, bu it only had 6 inch lift at the time.

That's insane, Scott! Look cool as hell. Love the color choice. Which show was this? Looks like it was at Elliot's place.

Thanks for the build picks, Skip.

Thanks Trey. Pics don’t do it justice. He’s got $5k in just stainless socket head bolts on it. 14 reservoir gas shocks, 1 ton axles, 17” lift, custom built 15x20 wide headlocks, 44” tires, etc. It’s a 6 figure deal. Stop in next time your up this way and I’ll show it to you. Southern Squarebodys hosts the show over at the city hall, which is Georgia Racing Hall of Fame. It got best of show first time out there.

Any idea when the next show is?

I'll reach out next time I'm making a mountain run. I went to Brevard, NC for Christmas and that made me realize I need to get out of ATL more often, lol.

That particular show is that clubs big one, and it’s in August. They do several smaller shows throughout the summer. I’ll ask my brother which shows he’s interested in doing and get back with you. But again, it’s sitting here if you ever head this way. I have a cool 92’ RS camaro that my mom bought new here also. She parked it in 97’ so you can imagine it’s pretty nice. Pretty much a time capsule. Up and gave it to me a couple months ago.

That Nova is gorgeous! Love the color choice.

From the builders of the Vicious Mustang...

Best part is Shawn flogging this beast.

Just hammered for $150K...

Wow! That's a lot of money for a square body. Gorgeous truck.

Early Countach...

Cool car and some good laughs...

Something a little different...

How to Buy Used NASCAR Parts—Cheap!

https://www.hotrod.com/articles/how-...&sf229591835=1

Interesting. I always wondered how that worked. I don't have the budget, know how, or need for used Nascar parts. Still, it's really cool knowing how to find the parts and how close they are to me :D

Good to live in ‘Patinasville’...

Agreed Trey. It is interesting.

New Ford big inch small block...

IIRC correctly it is 2 inches wider than a SBF. Max cid estimated right now at 480cid.

Evan also discusses the comparative weights of the Coyote and a 428cid iron block alloy head Windsor combo.

Naturally the old Fox-body notch guys are already fabbing up for the swaps.

That takes guts to pull the decals off a TATA. Not sure I'd have done that. Looks great though!

What a roar this thing has...

...and this one is brutal.

Trey,

I believe they were 2 different cars. IIRC that on the Indy Pace car ‘78 Vettes the decals were not applied at the factory. Perhaps the same situation for the ‘79 TA’s(?).

Vid shows how they test & the tech used to limit NVH

Tom Scarpello also discusses what they’ve learned doing the same thing 50x and their suspension tuning philosophy.
