Hi All,

Just found this site by Googlin' and WOW! The stuff here is mindblowing. I can't imagine what it would be like to see these machines running down the road. I bet the earth shakes beneath them.

I've got a 56 Chev now that is a work in progress for the last few years. Just wanting to have some fun, nuthin' crazy. I've had a 31 Ford Model A, 73 ElCamino, 64 Chevelle Pro Street, my wife still has her 64 VW with air-ride and wants to go for something different now. So it's for sale.

I'm really thinking about the 2011 HotRod PowerTour with the '56. Well I got more reading to do, looking if there are any tri-fives here.

Keep up the great work guys, I'll be watching your pictures trying to learn:smoke:

You probably did, I was told there was one similar to hers, but different wheels.
Was also at Paris Ont, cruise on a few Saturday nights.

my Iroc has the fuel injector blues (actually me and the car are not really on speaking terms since this crap.....seeing how nice Ive been with it in the last year (lots of $$))

and the chevelle has a LONG way to go...maybe this time next year

Id love to go on the Power Tour once...what month is it in?

Every Saturday night in Paris Ont. It used to be "Johnny B Goods" not sure if it changed names. Located on Hwy 2, probably 200+ cars on any given night.

You're from Lowdown, seen some real nice stuff!! I wish I had some of that talent.
