Roger, nice build wish these cars stayed stateside but I guess the internet is the only way any of us will ever see the cars from down under. I met a guy on HRPT in Dallas one year with a RH drive GT? my first thought was it looked like a Mad-Max car -mustang frt end falcon rear. We met on the Friday before and we invited him to Hooters (had to show some hospitality right?) with us as I figured he didn't know anyone my buddy's got a ride in his car but I didn't :shakehead: still was cool seeing that! could you post up a full size version of your avatar? :unibrow:

This car was just a shell, nothing special, and had a bit of good ole USA rust :). There is a fair chance this one will end up back in US, as I hope to do HRPT in it.

Here is a pic as per request, for looking after a fellow Aussie. :cheers:

If you can pull HRPT of I recommend it Been doing them since 99
that's what these cars are all about- road trip! the Power Tour used to be pretty well coast to coast but they experimented back in '03? when they did the "deep south tour? and they saw A LOT more participation and GM then decided that they would make the drive venue to venue shorter. the last few years they had been taking us to small venues that were not well equipped to let 3-4,000 cars in or out quickly :( and I don't care to sit in traffic for and hour plus when you get to the venue just to get in and park last year Family events didnt do it some other company planned it and I only did 3 stops so the jury is still out for me. It's been a lot of fun over the years watching it grow in size and riding along but I wanna see other places and less corn (meaning the mid west) I am excited about Texas having 3 stops (except Dallas WTH? Traders village?? a flea market?) anyway the drives are fun just not so much the venues IMO

:drool: what he said...

Wow, I can't believe that's the same car! Incredible work. Looks great.

Raingear told me not enough room in the 2nd gen for any one of their systems. I'm down for modifying one at my risk....So you guinea pig a 1st gen and i'll guinea pig a Chevelle one LOL....

i might wait to see how you go with Chevelle one :thankyou:

Those throttle bodies are perfect! We always loved the look of them.
