"Chicayne" photos from World of Wheels

This car has been in the most recent issues of PHR and Hot Rod. In my opinion, this is the coolest engine ever. Every detail is thought out.

I've already begun incorporating some of Trepaniers neat little finishing touches on mine. I just don't have the creativity to think of some of these things myself. The stuff that Trepanier, Meaney, and that Camaro guy Mark Steilow always impress me with their efficiency and attention to detail.

What car was that in? I was there and I know I didn't see it or else I woulda had a bad case of "messy pants". I probably saw the car but it didn't catch my eye. Which building was it in?

Wasn't Troy's original plan to have 4 turbo's?

Too bad that car will likely never leave some rich guy's trailer/garage, let alone see a drag strip.

it really is a shame.

the whole idea of a trailer queen just escapes me. a car is meant to be driven. unless it is seriously a one of a kind car from like the 30's

The owner of the car is the owner of Billet Specialties. I have read he is planning on taking it on the Hot Rod Power Tour.
