Whats up guys. Im from salem Mi and been racing for years. Over the years Ive had a few crashes and all the parts I had left over I thought Id use one day, well the day is here. I went off on a limb to build "not the norm" as many here are and this is what I came up with. It will see the road this summer and ought to capture aattention.
Ots a 37 coupe with a blown BBc and powerglide.

AHH HAAA, finaily some guys understanding the idea. Ive gotten alot of smack over this project but I am more into this build than any others Ive done.
Ill post the build thread, what there is of it , a coupla pictures at a time as i dont have a scrapbook to speak of.
Sam, on the hoist is my gasser, 1963 chevy II. I run with the great lakes gasser asso and have a riot with it. I built this car 4 years ago and have had nothin but fun. Its a BBc with old school crower fuel injection with a 4 speed. Most everything on the car is old school as club rules out "new" stuff.....thats how i like to race
a few build and a chevII shot commin up :

I'm in Shelby, I'm planning on being there, without the rat, but I'll try to find you with the bright orange Nova, shouldn't be too hard to spot you.

I have a soft spot for novas, my first car was a 67 Nova...
 
Defently stop by our camp and intro yourself......bring that ol hot rod out there if you can

Well the 67 I sold long ago... :(

And I'm way to far from being done to plan on Billetproof this year anyway... :(

What will you be driving this year? I think I read in your other thread that you sold your Orange Nova? :confused:
 
Hey Sarg, Id be dissapointed if you didnt stop by and say Hi........door is open to any of you guys planning on the bullitproof, Its gonna be a great time with the show and the race on the same card......Ill be there the nite before and camp out.......party time you know.
Dirtyrat, no I didnt sell that ol heap. I dont belive I could part with the ol girl
