Vegas is like the Bermuda Triangle of hot rodding resources. There are plenty to be found in Utah, Cali, and Arizona. But few in NV.

Any Vegas members out there? Shoot me a PM.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the reply. That makes five of us. Cool better than none.

Tyler, I came buy your shop a few months back, showing you my project and some of my ideas, I came with the guy who built the Chevelle for SEMA (where is he:question: ).

The 56 is progressing slowly but surely, mainly because I have to get everything done across state lines :mad: . I was just wonder what other Vegas members were doing to get their cars done.

Do I hear 7 !! This is Jeff in the southeast (Windmill & 215) Jay, thanks for reminding me about the Invasion show. I'm going to try get my car "done" for it, but I still have to install the Hydroboost, the new 4:10 12 bolt and rear C5 disc brakes. The 68' already has one of Tyler's (ATS) new Carbon Fiber Front Spoiler installed. I should register before it's to late.

Thanks for the compliments guys, the turbos are T-3's .60/.63 off of turbo coupes, the headers are ssautochrome everything has been off of ebay. This is my first turbo build so if you know anybody in Vegas who is knowledgeable let me know, I'll definitely need some direction sooner or later. Thanks again :thumbsup:

I'm still in the planning stage. Looking to build a 68 Camaro. Won't beable to start the project for about 8 months. Just bought a house (Haulapi and I-215) and I'm getting married. So that's taking up all my funds at the moment.

Nice to see there are a few guys here in Vegas. Been looking for a group to hang out with, so keep me in mind if any thing get's put together.

Laters,

Curtis
