Runner Ups Include a CRAZY Hemi 70 Challenger built by Bobby Alloway, a slick, black 65 or 66 Mustang and two very street roddish 69 Camaros Other than the Alloway Challenger, which has an awesome Art Morrisson Enterprises Chassis, all of the other finalists used Air Ride Suspension

Other Highlights: Detroit Speed unveiled their easy to install and very functional 4 Link kit which features patent pending "swivel links" to completely (Yes, I said COMPLETELY) eliminate binding without resorting to heims joints. It took best product of the year awards.
Congrats to Kyle and Stacey

Nice ride. I bet there were alot of sweet cars to choose from.
I hate Bobby did not win. He is local.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Great choice, the craftsmanship is fantastic. There is a ton of money in chrome and polish there, and a little billet too!

I've spent a lot of time looking over Pigford's Chevy II. It is one beautiful car.

Doesn't that make like 3 '66/'67 Novas in a row to win the SMOY? I forget last year but I thought it was a Nova to.

Any pics of this?

[Steve Chryssos]

Sorry James, I don't. I'll do my best to dwscribe it for you:

-Lower links use forward leaf spring mount location
-Panhard bar comes with frame and axle brackets
-Links have patent pending male/female halves with captured swivels such that the ends can free rotate
-All pivot poinnts use high durometer rubber bushings.
-So the bushings and the swivels work in concert
-Looks like there's plenty of room for fat tires.
-I forgot to ask about price
Maybe Larry can get with Kyle for pix of their display unit.

did you guys shoot that car steve?

[primate]

they did a huge buildup of that nova in one of the mags, i think it was streetrod. like 8 pages of buildup. he deserves it. its incredible.

[Steve1968LS2]

did you guys shoot that car steve?

Not yet.. that was the first we had heard of it or seen it. We did shoot a very nice 67 Stang fastback (the red one) that year one built for a customer.. sweet car.

Johnny takes 5 hours to shoot a car so we only get two or three per an event like this. We will be shooting the black stang and the silver GTO ASAP.

Plus he got robbed at the RIDDLER award deal.. that may have factored into it a bit :dunno:

Ya the pigford car should have one the riddler also......!

[MuscleRodz]

As nice as the Nova is, I don't see how it could have topped Foose.

[kennyd]

foose did not have a car in 04 at the riddler ,

[MuscleRodz]

I thought it was this year Pigford was in it. Man time flys by! Than I would have to say he should have won against the Willy's, which I did not agree with anyway.
