12" of show last night and a broken snow blower. Luckily a friend picked me up out in the road and after breakfast we went to the show Us two and a few dozen other people made it this morning. I hope they have better attendance this afternoon as it was a very good show.

Hard to comment about each car when they are thumbnails. If any of you have questions about a car and I know some details I'll be glad to answer.

A few more. There were a lot of black cars this year and my camera doesn't do well with them.

Thanks for the tour, bob! Some rare pieces there... '57 Pontiac SD (Canadian)... '30 Studebaker Erskine coupe... '33 Willys roadster (Australian?) .. '34 Pontiac Cabriolet...

Question: What's powering the 401K?

Dr. C, that creation is the brainchild of a friend and the best designer/fabricator I know. He started with two Toyota Supra heads, made the block (a weldment), had Scat make a crankshaft to his spec., added two turbos and electronic fuel injection. It's a V12.
He did have someone else program the electronics, some of which is hidden in the rear wing.

The chassis is stainless steel. He made the spindles and all the other parts of the front suspension. The rear is based on a Corvette IRS(I could be wrong). Don also hammered the body out of aluminum. It's running now and he drove it into the arena. It will be street legal. In spite of his outstanding skills and imagination he is a super nice guy with no ego. Like many of us reaching our golden years Don claims this is his last project. We'll see.
 
Thanks for the explanation, bob.

Must be something in the water. ;)

That 401 K is some serious business.:eek: :cool:
I like the Fury Hardtop.
Looks like a nice show.
Thanks for taking those of us still snow bound along, bob. [cl
Torchie
 
I like them alll

I would take the 34 Pontiac for a toot any day.

That's the first I've ever seen done up anywhere.

And...the engine on the 401K is an amazing piece of work.

I've been thinking about this 26T tudor shell without any doors that has been on CL for over a year. This gives me an idea.

Go for it! This one is a '32 Ford. 301 Chevy with a Cad-LaSalle trans. The show card said it ran low 10's at 125 mph. Would need some work to pass tech.
