And we broke off from the Power Tour on Monday morning to go visit Rad Rides by Troy (my co-worker, who drives the above Caprice wagon, knows the shop foreman of Rad Rides) and that place was awesome! We got to have lunch with Troy and watch a little tv in the shop while eating. I also got the green light to take some pics (see below links) and got to see the 3rd gen Camaro that they are working on, and WOW! That Camaro was SO amazing to see up close! It's going to be insane when done!

Hey the first car is mine! Man I wish it would of been cleaner the registration was a mess we had to go muddin. I went the whole way and my thirdgen was excellent! Got man thumbs ups. And the 377 was rumbling so hard it blew the cut off out!

I saw the others in Springfield. Those are some nuts cars. The bird has TWO Stages of Nitrous! Rediculous. That was my first real life Firehawk. I had no idea they had unique center consols!

DAVECS1, your car was awesome! I walked past it and saw a weird intake system on it, so I had to turn around and take a 2nd look. Very nice!

Thanks, It has been sitting for a while this is the first time in 5 years all the parts have been in one pile.

The intake is from a marine application. It took some messin around to make it work, but it seemed to work pretty good on PT. Matched it with a big cam some big heads and a T56. Was not exactly street friendly :-) but people seem to like cars that make a big fuss pullin into town.
