    Well....
    We posted some preview pics a week or so ago. The car is now finished and on the road. It is a former Fad T that was collected over about a 30 year period yet never assembled. The car consists of a fully boxed mix and match frame, suicide front end, Halibrand quick-change rear end, 67 Vette 327 with high top pistons and Power Pack Heads. Headers have motorcycle style baffles in them so she is loud but not wide open.

    J (EvilT) and I built the whole car ourselves over a two month period. The only thing that we ended up outsourcing was the interior.

    She is a bit of a bumpy ride and will need some dialing to get just right but the car is loads of fun. Feel free to check us out at Paso next weekend. We will be the guys with the three Hot Rods and the goofy grins on our faces.

    Awesome! Looks like an absolute hoot! So, do you provide goggles for your passengers? :)

    If you look closely in the last pic you will see a pair of old aviators goggles on the floor.

    That is an old Harley Heritage windshield that J had around. We made some mods to it and redid the brackets.

    True are those 16" wheels? They look a little "airy" for sixteens but maybe it's just the light color.
