Any particular photos you're interested in seeing?

The suspension was so poorly thought out and not sorted out. I was not a well educated buyer unfortunately. I didn't over pay either so no biggie.

The day I bought the car.


A few months after driving the car around,

The previous owner built it with his son, and it was primarily used to cruise to cruise nights only. It had a race theme going on, but lacked the performance aspects to match the looks (at least in my mind).

Dane:

Does the #7 have a special meaning for you?

BTW: The Guillstrand License Holder might get you out of a Ticket. If you have COP behind you, he will probably call in D7 502.

I have a Bonneville Frame on all my cars and got pulled over. He said the Frame itself is why he pulled me over. Seems here, that if ANY part of the License is covered it is illegal.

What did I do???

I left it. I like the way it looks and haven't been pulled over again since.

Lucky #7.... Smokey Yunick ran #13, so I figured I'd do the opposite, seeing as he was never able to run that camaro #13 didn't work out too well for him...

Funny thing about those magnetic meatball numbers; they fly off around 110mph or so. I've lost 4 in the history of the car. One was stolen in Beverly Hills of all places, I lost one at Cal Speedway, and I lost one at a Buttonwillow Clockwise event as well on the main straight and again at a Buttonwillow CCW event. My friend even caught it on video flying off. Here is the video, you can see it fly off the passenger door and land on the track. It flys off right as I'm braking for turn 1 at 46 seconds



That reminds me, I need to order a few spares or find a different solution and in the future, tape the leading edge down.
