    I think they are out of Iowa, southeast part, down by Des Moines...there are one or two guys on here (don't recall user names tho) that can tell you if it was in fact a club years ago.

    We party with these guys, at the nats in Louisville every year.

    It's the only time we see them.

    Great bunch of guys, cool cars, very traditional.

    Look forward to hanging with them in a couple of weeks.

    Was the coupe severely chopped, channeled, with scallops?

    I believe there's a user named "brandon" that has that club name & tag line as his signature...

    So, how do you even properly pronounce their name? Is it like spanish for "two wolves," or is supposed to be like "those low boys," or "low balls," or what?

    Brandon,
    I have the sedan with the flames on it, Greg's my dad. Check out my album. Bill Wineland from Humeston IA built his own Chevy Sedan. Haven't had it to the nats since I got it (I'm in Denver). But it's been to the HAMB Drags 3 times.
