Reggie Jackson's 69 LSX
 

I just picked up the May issue of Super Chevy, I was pleasantly supprised to see the pic of our pedal covers in the car. I had seen some pics of the car on the web and was wondering who was going to do the story on it. The engine compartment is one of my top two, the other is Steven Rupp's "Penny." I haven't decided which I like best.:question:

Real happy for your good press Shannon, your pedals are fantastic. I have to disagree on the underhood of Reggies LSX. Up close it is sloppy at best. They painted the fender bolts and clips! The firewall has a horrible x ray of the old heater opening. When I was approached at PRI by someone for GM Performance, they asked what I was looking at. I pointed out the painted bolts. He went on to explain that Reggie was a purest (BTW, I know Reggie and have sold him cars), and he wanted the car to look stock.

I am confused, where the fender bolts on Camaros painted?


I hate to pick on anyones stuff, lord knows we have our faults. I guess the painted bolts are a pet peeve.

Thanks for the compliment Frank.



I haven't noticed any of that. I guess I have always been fixed on the engine. I haven't seen the car in person though.

Im going to have to through my .02 in ......I saw reggies car at autorama and I thought under the hood was not that nice......It looked really bad......I thought It looked better in pictures then in person ...So I think Penny would Win!


Pedals look awsome!

pics please?

I was at at Autorama also. Did anyone one notice the rusted out corner of the dash on the drivers side?

IMO, not up to par for what Reggie wants for his cars.

So tell me again what the big deal about this engine is??!!??:thmbsdwn:

John

"clearing my throat".....I would like to appologize to Steven Rupp and retract my earlier statement. I had no idea that the car was not what it appeared to be in the pics.:(

I like Rupp's best.....

First, props to Shannon...nice pedals! :thumbsup:

Second, I guess what really gets me about this car is in the origional outline of the build they said they wanted to blend modern day technology with a old muscle car. In my mind that doesn't include a carb when you are GMPP and have MPFI available.

Now for the average builder this would be kick ass!!! And I know they were using the car to debut the new LSx block...but still, a carb when you have his check book and their availale parts to choose from??
