Can't wait to see it on the road. Nice job

[awr68]

Great build!! :thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

Looks awesome! :cheers:

[Payton King]

I like the Moroso valve covers

Will it be at the Year One show? Under lock and key?

[Nine Ball]

What brand of serpentine belt kit is that?

[victionone]

What brand of serpentine belt kit is that?

I was just wondering the same thing...

Looks like the VA set in black. I didn't like the old school alternator fan, but it doesn't look bad in black. No tensioner and compressor cover in the pics tho. I like it.

[Stuart Adams]

Engine and compartment look very good. Nice headers.

[DDY RCKT]

Oh so very very nice!!!

[cjrolke]

looks great

just make sure something is done so it dosent disappear

[zbugger]

Very nice. I think if it does go anywhere it's gonna need some armed guards to protect it. That and a Lojack and a Snitch.

Oh, and I think that is the Vintage Air setup. It looks pretty clean, actually. I kinda like it.

[GHOSTDANCER]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[7TSS]

Niiiiiiiiice!! If you don't mind my asking, how does the clear stay on the bare metal without worry of peeling off??

[Alex396ss]

Cool!

Alex

[TravisB]

Looks like another killer car. I reall like the engine compartment and engine.

I think you should talk to Bret baout letting you drive it to arkansas...boat season is right around the corner. :thumbsup:

2 barrels of 1 1/8oz 6 shot though cylinder bore chokes. Anything within 20 feet will look like mowed grass :_paranoid

[whytry]

Really nice, any chance of it being at the Pleasanton good guys show in a couple weeks?

[darren@ridetech]

What brand of serpentine belt kit is that?

It is Vintage Air.

I know that there is a special coating on top of the bare metal, but I don't know much about it. I'll email John over at Precision Coachworks and ask him.

[darren@ridetech]

Niiiiiiiiice!! If you don't mind my asking, how does the clear stay on the bare metal without worry of peeling off??

I just got an email from John.

"DuPont makes a clear metal etch called Metalok that allows the clear to stick to the bare metal it is very $ - but it lets you sleep at night.

John"

I know this is my first post, but I've been a lurker for a long time.

Anyway, my name is Scott, and I'm the graphics/web guy for Air Ride Technologies. I thought I would jump on and let "y'all" (I am in Atlanta) know that we have new photos and even a short video clip of the Velocity Camaro on our site.

You can follow the link on the home page to see the latest:
