I was there all last week helping a customer get his set up and got to look at it up close...First class car! The machined parts on this car are done very elegant. We got in the great 8 with the car we worked on, a 55 Chevy . There was some great cars this year so to get in the 8 was hard, Then to win was even harder. The judges said it was one of the best years they had in a long time at the judges meetings. Well deserved win Our group that worked on our car were happy to just make the 8. Get on hotrodhotline.com to see all the cars.

Second link on the first post has pics of the Great 8 cars.


I really like the Mustang and the ASC coupe.

Great link Skip, thanks for posting it.

Tracy, really nice work on that 55!

Did you guys check out the grill on the Shelby? One big chunk of aluminum. I wonder how long it took to machine?
