Were you able to see who built that F100 in the Vortech Supercharger booth? Utg or OTG? Something like that.
The F100 was built by High Octane Hot Rods. Here's a link to the build pics.

What is going on in the trunk of the Galaxy ?
(I thought it was a Fairlane actually).

It looks like a swaybar that is sitting in the trunk but then there is two of them or something. It might just be a trick of the light that I can't figure out what that is but it looks very mechanical. That whole car looks really nice though.

That Nomad wagon is nice, and the CTS-V with the twin turbo engine looks bad ass, almost wish I'd dumped my money into something like that instead of a classic !

Like a lot of the never ending shop projects on here people love to see the fabrication even if it doesn't make a cohesive car in the end. You don't have to incorporate everything you can do in one car.
Yeah totally agree, need a lesson in "less is more", but then again, we the fans are the ones always asking for something "new and interesting".

So it is a Galaxy? I honestly don't know.

I saw the same thing Preston and just figured it was a fancy sway bar. I also hoped someone else would chime in and say what it was.

Actually it would be a 66 or 67 Fairlane.

Powered by a SOHC FE with a custom intake with what looks like two halved 715 Holleys with LeMans bowls, but that's obvious.

I have seen that in IRS cars but not straight rear axle stuff.

Are we looking at the torsion bars, or something else?

It is actually a 67 Fairlane built by Strope. It has a triangulated four link with torsion bars.

Here is the scoop.
