That is true but man...what a party you guys put on Kevin.

I've been around some high-end cars in my time and I was truly impressed with what I witnessed yesterday.I came away with a new respect for CAR and the work their team produces.
Great to see Brett (lowend) again and chat about all things automotive and to meet Dennis (DjD) from Team Camaro as well as other friends who were there like Roger & Chad Raynal.
I had a great time and I appreciate you having this event.

Here's a couple of pics I shot,really alot of eye candy here...willy.

Thanks John,
Where to start, the under side of Steve's Camaro is just as nice as the top. Then you got Cadillac "style" and those are 2 Holley Domantors on a Boss 302 (yes it is the real PJ Trans Am car). The Kinsler crossram big block is in a Vega! I wish you all could here Tate's blue '65 Mustang run, is has the coolest exhaust sound, a cross betweem American muscle and high end Euro. Also Tate's car is the reason for the other 2 Mustang build we are doing now, the fastback is in second prime and the sister car the body metal work is all but finished (the other under car shots are the convert' and John needs to post up the rear suspension of it), both 'stangs are powered with Roush 427 IR small blocks with 6-speeds, 6 piston Baer/Car brakes and more. Now for the Camaro on the table it is Tom's (my boss) car and it was the car we did the prototyping on for Steve's car, well it has been laying a round for about 4 years now so it is time to go forward with it. The plan for it goes somethine like this, updating some of the suspension and chassis taking what we have learned from other builds and powered from some type of LS engine either big inch, twin turbo'ed or supercharged with a goal over 650hp at rear wheels. But with all shop projects customer cars come first, so look for the Fastback this fall.

Kevin,
Sorry I missed this one! My mom is in the hospital and I have to stick close to home for a while.

Didn't want to steal your thunder Kevin ...here's the 'vert Mustang's rear suspension,super trick to say the least!

You better explain this one Kevin...
