    Bad ass. I took a buddy for a ride in my wagon this weekend for the first time and he said my car sounded like a "mad bumble bee" also. Too Funny! Sounds great and so familiar!

    right on! you've done a killer job, and make me ashamed of my petty 235!

    My dad was puzzeled why I didn't want to paint my motor 'awfull orange' (as I too called it) so it went back in gold haha.

    the '54 bezels with Lee lenses will look killer!

    Looks great. Hope to see it around this season.
     
  8. Looking good!
     
  9. NICE ! What a night and day difference Megan, I alway's say the right stance and the right wheel and tire combo can make or break the look of a car. You hit it dead on, it is great that you saw the hidden potential in that ugly 70's show car.

    Great job on the motor also,

    Hi Megan- Your car looks great! You can detail my engine any day. I found info on your Rajo in a Sears catalog dated 1953. It 's listed as a Allstate Power Kit sold for $134.95 The extra carb is to kick in at 40MPH. Sooo cool.

    Definetly!

    and way cool!..I love the transformation. was a cool car when you got it..and now its Uber cool..and that intake set up and head set up just seals the deal. If your ever on your way up to Denise's place stop by for a cold one I bet that would surprise the heck out of Cheyenne that you have a car simular to hers. well or at least the same year, and make..Thats so awsome i love the choice for the engine color..Rock It!

  23. What's the story on the "Rajo"? How does it work? Looks like it has it's own intake ports, very interesting..

    It's amazing how you can go from 70's show car to cool late 50's cruiser by changing some things and doin some cleaning up. Nice job. I knew a guy that had a gmc 6 in a mid 40's dodge that sounded like that, really wicked sounding winding it up going down the road. later shawn

    Well shit... you blew my prediction ALL to hell, didn't you?! :D

    That hood-off engine shot looks like something straight out of the little pages... BEAUTIFUL job Megan!

    P.S. Don't forget about Travis... I didn't tell you this, but he's thinking about selling his Nova soon!

    There's nothing hotter than an enthusiastic car chic.....especially one with grease under her finger nails to drive the point home. Well done Megan, the car looks great!
