These are the cars we turn out to see. Sure, we love a cool ‘32 Ford, a Mercury lead sled, that Chevy Bel Air, but we also love the weird and wild. We want to see your T-bucket low rider, your monster mobile, your chromed-out Buick Super or Christine-inspired Plymouth Fury. This category is about vision and love. It’s about creativity in chopping, crate engine dropping, pinstripe popping enthusiasm. That’s what makes a hot rod.
"I owned my my car for a year and half and it’s been a pleasure ever since. Had a body off restoration. Was displayed in the Chip's Choice Modified Display at the biggest Corvette show in the world in Carlisle, PA, called Corvettes at Carlisle. It was also featured in the February 2020 issue of Vette Vues Magazine.
"The motor is a 454 big block Chevy pushing 410 hp backed up by a Tremic 5 speed transmission. The suspension includes Vette Base Products(VBP) rear shock tower along with VBP high performance front & rear camber and toe adjustment arms. Has tuned coil springs and Bilstein shocks. Also installed SteerRoids power rack and pinion on steering. Wheels and tires are coys C-5 chrome 17” wheels mounted to diamondback red line flame tread high performance handling tires. Nothing but pride and joy goes into my car and I always enjoy every minute of it."

350 Chevy with tuned port injection, ZF 5-speed. This was originally a mid-engine kit that looks similar to a GT40. It came with a 2-piece body and 2 x 5 rectangular tube frame that used Corvair front and rear suspension and a Corvair transaxle with an adapter to mate up to a Chevy V8 bell housing. Over the years I have modified and updated the car starting with replacing the quad 5-3/4" round headlights with rectangular Cibie units like those on the GT40, making a tilt nose for better access, replaced the 4-speed Corvair transaxle and trailing arm rear suspension with a Pantera ZF 5-speed and a custom 5-link (each side) setup. A Jim Meyers Racing front suspension is now up front. Tires are 345-35/15 in the rear on 12 " wide Centerlines and 285-40/15 on 10" wide in the front. The engine is currently a Chevy 350 with a TPI setup.
