Wow Garth. CCOTR has a famous member.

Does this mean I can retire Andy? Looking at 4.10 gears are you? 4.11s?

Arizona should be a blast! I'll have to hit you up for tips/tricks maximizing the Pfadt suspension - saw your car at SEMA 2009 Pfadt booth.... very nice! Love your wheels and body kit... almost did those Forgelines, so many choices!

Thanks Brad, Only have the Blue 70 SS in pics..... had a little practice rebuilding engines as my oldest brother had a Purple 67 RS Camaro
which I got to help rebuild shortly after doing a 66 Impala. Kinda like this one: ....although his slicks were screwed onto the wheels LOL
Attachment 212279

Fast cars became a trademark among the 4 brothers and we had alot of motorheads for friends - we had to live up to the oldest
brother's reputation. Built and tricked out the 350 motor myself and sold it when the first kid was born in '80.
It had a Holly 750 double pumper carb, Edelbrock Torker intake, nice cam, forged internals, and tons of other goodies - plus
the Muncie M21 rockcrusher tranny and 12 bolt rear end with 4.10 gears. The guy apparently couldn't handle the power,
as he totaled it a month later. - have kicked myself ever since. :cry:

Congrats on COTW and thanks for all your pics! I am curious ( looking at your trailer ) and your car inside; how do you get in/out once in the trailer? My trailer is just like yours and I didn't think I could get in/out

The trailer was a private courier for Lingenfelter - Fred. He just opened the door carfully and slid out the side with clothing that wouldn't hurt a clean car... and Fred isn't a little guy. I wondered the same thing at first. Window has to be down to make it easier.

Congratulations on COTW.

You have a beautiful ride and it goes too !!

Those Forgelines really set it off in your last few pics. Nice.

Glad you are going to C5Fest2. Should be a blast - just watch out for Larry (and Harry)...lol :)
