Thanks for all the comments on my car. Very soon I will post some pictures and more info on the complete car. I know I am pushing the envelope of pro-touring and pro-street but I feel that is hot rodding. The big rear tires are only 16 wide not the big 18 or 21 M/T Sportsmans of yesteryears prostreet. I actually am working with M/T on their new Radial tire that we debuted at SEMA this year which will come in several widths and accept a 20" diameter rear wheel!! Should be on the car in the next couple months and available to the public by July. As soon as I take delivery of the car in the next few weeks I will also let you all know how it drives and performs. The car should handle well with the independent front and rear suspension. I will also have to put some highway and town miles on it to figure what gears will work best in the quick change rear end with the G-Force 5 speed and all that torque and horsepower.
Thanks again for all the comments and no offense is taken to others opinions as I think we all feel we would do something different to each others cars if they were ours. That is what makes them unique!

twinsting,

I was wondering how tall you were? I remember when watching the show you were getting test fitted and it seemed like you needed more room. car looked great on the show!!!

Shaun, pics would be great, but for a car like yours, I think we need video!

Congrats, nice ride! :thumbsup:

I could not have said it any better myself. I hope it drives as good as it looks.

F70T/A- I am 6'6". We actually extended the fire wall to give me extra leg room. Now I fit great!

TwinSting, I gotta ask, were you bothered at all by some of the crews reaction. I love the way the cars turned out, and praise you for doing what others didnt and pushing the envelope like you did. But I was kind insulted that the entire shop wasnt behind you, or maybe it was the producers just playing that up. Just curious, but the car awesome either way.

I think I said this before***Goodnight :eek: ***


Very nice ride indeed

Most all of he negative drama was hype brought on my film crew and then editing process. I made a few comments after seeing show but after they all have seen the almost finished car they see what I was going for.

Shaun, do you still have the '65 Impala that was in Super Chevy a few years ago?

And one more time........................

Dude, that 'vette is killer! :hail:
