Thirdgens at Power Tour *Lots of Pics*

I went to the Hot Rod Power Tour today in Tulsa. The place was packed with lots of badass cars. Here are some pics of the thirdgens in attendance. Enjoy.

Well I dont recall offhand, but I checked my original 2304 x 1728 pics, and sure enough I could read the sizes.

Ditto. Amazing paint owns big wheels any day.

(Though the orange one has nice paint too!)

Anyone have a make and model for the rims on the 19/20 car?

anyone else notice stripes on the hood of the blue/chrome purple car?

I wonder if that four point STB would be any better than a three point STB like you would get from BMR or Edelbrock...

Good fab work there.

I don't chime in much, but that chrome purple camaro is gorgeous. Clean, well done, and didn't try to do anything "look at me." Probably the best stock in appearence (besides stealth ram) I've ever seen. The last one doesnt do anything for me, but few camaro's do.

Also, the all black Formula is sharp, sorta reminds me of formul8's.

That blueish/purplish Camaro needs a new choice for engine color. Otherwise it's outstanding.

That car is very well executed. Those rims sit perfect!
And did you see how small those 12 inch Baer brakes looked behind those massive 20 inch rims...hehehe.

I also like the engine bay of that car...very clean and simple!

Hopefully we can get the owner to come here and tell us more about it!

That last Camaro is my favorite too. Looks like those cars in very excellent shape. Its depressing knowing that you have such a long way to get any where close to that clean.

Actually, his hood struts are missing. I'd wager that aftermarket hood isn't designed to bear all that weight on the hinge points.

Where's mine? I mistakenly parked with the long haulers in Tulsa, but I was a row or so away from the painless wiring booth/cars. So far so good, just meet a few people from team3rdgen tonight, two were caged formulas

The purple car is a very, very clean car, I don't care for the neon grean block and heads, but it def. draws some attention. The red one w/ 19's and 20's is also awesome. I've never been a fan of big rims on our cars, but on that car it just works right. The Grey car with the Red, white, and blue stripes is another very clean car... makes me want to repaint my engine bay. The owner is a cool guy too, he's a member on this site I guess. He has a carbed zz4 w/ a hotcam and a lot of other very nice parts.

I'll have to post some more pics when I get home and I'm not on a computer at a holiday inn.

This was one tricked out Camaro.

I saw most of the other cars you had pictures of too. I just can't get over how AWSOME the Power Tour was!

It's called, getting it perfect. With a fiberglass hood, all the fitting, shaving, blocking...40 hours would not be a stretch if it was perfect.
I caught the Power Tour in St. Louis last night...DAM, it was awesome.

that red one rocks! But since this is the appearance forum and i call myself an app. and det. expert, i have to say that the stance is not perfect. In the back its as good as it may get, but somehow the non-existent wheel gap conflicts with the gap in the front.
