There will be a nice pro touring 69 Camaro From our town going for the Riddler Award Blue with red strips one By Jim Hubble

[65_LS1_T56]

Saturday for me.

[wiedemab]

I had a chance to go with a group of local guys, but I've been traveling internationally a lot for work and have too much to catch up on around home - and need to spend some time with the family.

Still wish I could make it up to see everyone though.

Have fun!

[TAC]

I'm not going, but a car I worked on is going for the Ridler.

[Firebirdsteve]

I thought you were going???

[TAC]

Steve...decided not to go and spend the time on the new shop.

[Riddler]

I'll be there Saturday. Can't wait to see what all shows up in pro touring cars.

Riddler

[ironworks]

I have heard the Riviera from JF in Canada and a 32 4 door sedan are the strong contenders this year. I have only seen build pics, nothing with them on the Cobo Hall floor yet.

[FlameBroiled]

I too lent a hand on JF's Riv. Hopefully my assistance makes all the difference.

Oh by the way this :ttiwop:

Well if you worked on the car, won't you have some pics to share? Or atleast share tomorrow.

[TAC]

Rodger, you just have to wait 24 hours. I can't share any pics until tomorrow morning........

[lil427z]

Lots of good car today .

The Miranda Built 67 Nova is a mean machine.

considering some of the amazing cars that have won Ridler in the past few years...this Great 8 seems a little weak to me...all really beautiful cars dont get me wrong...but nothing that could compete with some of the past winners. These look more closer to SMOTY candidates then Ridlers

On the Riv...is that the air intake in the center of the windshield? wtf :confused59:

[Vince@Meanstreets]

On the Riv...is that the air intake in the center of the windshield? wtf :confused59:

looks like it goes up the windshield, up the headliner,down the back window then into the trunk. That must sound cool at full throttle.

[Vince@Meanstreets]

Those Nova's are nice! Thanks for the pictures Al!!

[Boss 5.0]

No disrespect to any of the builders or the cars. But it looks like a fairly soft field for the Ridler compared to other years.

Not that I could build any of them to that levee of quality.

[fleetus macmullitz]

Sweet topping off of the '69 Camaro engine.

[TAC]

The Riv has twin turbos mounted under the rear glass. There is a air to water intercooler then it runs up that headliner duct to the throttle body. It sounds like a cross between a jet engine and an iron lung. Very cool.
Thanks for all the pics.

[TAC]

WOO HOO ... the RIV won the Ridler....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Firebirdsteve]

Cheers to JF, and all that worked so hard on the Riv!!!

Gary, it would never have happened without all your hard work and expertise.

Makes me feel even better that I gave JF a bunch of my money to do my car....:hairpullout:

Can't wait to see the pictures! Thanks for the explanation. I could see the pipe running inside the interior but didn't know what it was for. Congrats on the win, too!

[BlackSS]

After award got presented started car up sounded sweet, think thats a first Ridler Winner got to fire it up during the show..........

Sorry for crappy pics was using the phone.

Thanks for posting the photos of the "Great 8". The photos came out very good. We machined the hood inlet, front grille bars and the four core support trim spears for the Jim Hubbell built ZRS Camaro. We were very happy for Jim!

[waynieZ]

Awesome pictures. Thanks for posting.

[89 RS]

Great cars, that Miranda built Nova is wicked! Anybody know what kind of floor shifter is in the Nova?
