Got my six new chrome 97s!!!

After seeing the chrome 97s,I just had to get some!Man are these things sweet!!!Anyone thinking of getting some should do it-they are simply awesome!!

 

ya right that motor looks awsome

 

looks great!! whats the price on those things now?

 

that makes for a righteous looking W motor. Awesome job, very impressive. Walt

 

In Australia-about $700 each-but I have seen them on The Hot Rod companys site for $599.00 U.S each.

 

Six of them! Very nice

 

congrats. theyre awesome, but so is the rest of the engine.

 

Another pic!!!!!

 

**** yeah, looks good. Done the body aswell?

 

That thing is just awesome! It's good to the aussies churning out nice rods!

 

That is a wet dream!

 

The plan is to complete the rolling ch***is-then put it aside and concentrate on the bodywork.Hoping to have it all done sometime mid next year-its the A tudor in my avatar by the way!!
Planning on doing the body in Kandy Rootbeer,with pearl white trim-tuck,n,roll-or maybe some diamond pleat??????

 

beautiful---did i miss the info?? is that a 348 or an 09??

 

348-1960 4 barrell 250 horse originally.

 

This will be a trick ride! I can't wait to see it!

 

Sweet !!

 

Damn they look sweet.
Can't wait to see the car in color as well.

 

mmmmm eye candy

 

I really like the colors and the chrome carbs are the cherries on top! Nice color contrast with all the metallic theme. Ch***is looks awesome also, can't wait to see the finshed product!

 

Pretty sum*****!

Before the nostalgia craze, I wanted to get a chrome 97 to match the one that I had. I called the California rebuilder to ask about prices. He said no rebuild without a core. I said I have 2 cores but 1 is chromed. He said Oh I have plenty of chrome ones. It's the originals that I can't find any more for the restorers. So I sent him my 2 and got back 2 chromed ones. How times have changed.

 

WOW!!! that motor/ch***is/everything looks great.
Your headlight and upper shock mount brackets look cool too.
Great stuff. any more pics? please?

WOW!!!!!! That's definitely a cool setup!!! Very cool engine too!

 

[shhhhwinggg]!!!!!!!

 

damn that some serious stuff! the steering box on the right threw me off for a minute..

 

NIIIICE! But why's the steering box on the wrong side???

 

Wow that thing looks awesome!

$5,000 worth of chromed carburetors and stacks!

Gotta love that kinda commitment.
