I noticed a brief write up in the July issue of Street Rodder magazine. I hope the Hot Rod guys like it as much as we do.

Cool!! Thanks for the heads-up. I had no idea. Brian Brennan, the editor had his doubts about the product at first. Said street rodders would never go for it as they still prefer TH350's as a group. Judging by the cars for sale in the back of the Goodguys Gazzette, I'm sure he's right. But that doesn't mean that there is a segment of the population that wants it. Many street rodders have called. I even sold one to a 32 Ford in New Zealand with Lexus drivetrain. Supposedly the top street rod in NZ at this time.

They're out there.

Steve, i saw the Shrifter in the Street Rodder also, way too cool.

Ya know, there should be a gameshow where car guys compete for cool parts, suspensions, crate Motors, SHRIFTERS, etc.

And you'd be the game host....

No, you.

There is also a Lexus powered 32 roadster in the same issue that they do some track testing on. Not the same car though. but you would never know it had a Lexus in looking at it. A very traditional looking car. I have no idea why hot rod guys are still stuck on TH350's. Makes no sense to me.

Congrats Steve

...Selling International now!....Great products sell themselves, but a advertising boost from a mag is always welcome!

Congrats Steve, not always easy to get new product exposure - you should be proud. Its only 100 degrees today!!!

Way to go and blow the secret Steve...I'm telling everyone in NZ right now!!
BTW- Read Steve's writeup in PHR and it was great to see a full feature on it with a real install instead of just the blurbs I've been reading about. Congrats man.

steve

i believe you have a great product ..when shown and explained to anyone with a 4l60e or 80 im sure the interest will turn into sales......
i was kinda worried i would get tired of the automatic ...thought i wouldnt have the fun of a 6 speed manual .. but after reading about your product i have changed my mind.....cant wait to give feedback once mine is driveable.
THE RAMBLER WILL HAVE A SHRIFTER connected to the 4l60e !!

thanks for giving us automatic guys something to make the car more fun

The pre-37 cars have a valid reason. Limited toeboard space for a larger overdrive case. But overall, I think the average street rodder is more concerned with style, comfort and reliability as opposed to performance and technolofy. That's okay. The hardcore subset is a smart, talented bunch. We'll find them, they'll find us.
