Default Updates

Some updates on the Chevelle.
Made it to the SEMA show with the car with help from the Roadster Shop and Weld Racing. While there we received an invite to the Optima Ultimate Street Car event where we finished 14th overall. The car performed flawlessly and we couldn't have been more pleased.
Received our new Super Chevy today and the Chevelle is on the cover with Deanna's Camaro for the suspension issue. There is a 4 page write up inside with some great commentary from Mary Pozzi and Jim Campisano.
Also have a new video on youtube from the guys at Route 2. They shot this while we were at Goodguys in DesMoines this summer.

Thank you to everyone that has helped with the car and was a part of our week at SEMA. Not sure how we will ever top this year's events and accomplishments.

You and Lynda are great people with a great car combined with great driving skills and deserve all the great publicity! (yes that is great four times in one sentence)

I am looking forward to getting my new Super Chevy. That is a pretty good finish at the Optima event. I enjoyed the video also. Congrat's Eric

Default Simply awesome 66

That video was very cool Chris. No offense Tommy, but this is the baddest, all around, 66 out there, for me anyways. Congratulations on the Optima results Chris.

just got the magazine today. What a great car. I'd love to do one of those frames on an early Chevelle some day. I know the ride is great but I was always afraid of the power limits of an IRS. Seems like that has been solved by the Roadster Shop.

Keep your eyes on the RS web site. They are doing an IRS chassis for a '69 Camaro with a 2,000 HP twin turbo big block.

We thought our '66 was pretty awesome before, but it's even better with the RS chassis. Thanks for the compliment Aaron. Can't wait to see yours on the road.

Me either Chris. I scored another car two weeks ago that I'll be using the body from. Hopefully gonna save some money on the metal work...more money for performance parts! Started a thread on TC for it.
