New Member '69 Camaro "Battle Axe" [Archive]

I own three 69 Camaros, The Battle Axe which was built by Alan Johnson for Bob Johnson {Sema Cuda owner}, the second car is a 427/425 ss/rs white with black hounds tooth interior and a car I just bought as a project to build with my two sons. It's a 60,000 mile rust free car with all original sheet metal that we will transform into a g-machine. I plan on using a pump gas motor,a tremec 6 speed and all the Detroit Speed suspension components. This car will get used several times a week and driven hard like all my cars.
As a member I look forward to participating in your discussions, attending events, checking out your cars and meeting members.
Doug, Cooperzcarz

Is aw Doug's Battle Ax in Rye Playland this year and his sweet NASCAR engined balck streetrod. He was a very nice man and has some wicked cars. The street rod was as slick as they come-simple and perfect.

Is that the Black '32 built by Alan Johnson? If so, that's probably my favorite Street Rod of all time. So cool.... :worship:

Hey Bob I guess keeping a low profile is out of the question, unless we're talking ride height on that wicked CUDA.

Thanks everybody, for the warm welcome.

Yes I live in New York on Long Island Originally from Westchester.
Look forward to seeing the locals out as soon asit warms up.

Trick car. I am still trying to take it all in from the photos. I do have one question. When they did the subframe on the car and added the rack was it changed over to a front steer setup?
