Ridler Predictions

[syborg tt]

Al is beginning to order the parts for the build. Car is sitting in storage. We'll see how "rust free" it is. The rendering has been done for a while and I think Troy is going to use most of it but add his own ideas as well. I dont think they have ever done a Nova as of yet. Its going to be a great summer for sure!

lol - I was in the office with Al when you guy's called and Al said "send us some money"

I can't wait to watch this on get built. What are your goal and plans for the car.

I appreciate the "work of art" cars, I really do. But what does if for me are the "purpose built" cars. I hope to see more Pro-Touring cars there this year.

One of my favorite Cars was the 66 Chevelle that was owned by SoCal - Man it was awesome looking.

Haha...yes that was a couple saturdays ago. My dad was pretty happy to get that call. We were down at the shop after work..around 7:30pm that day. All attention was on the '36 obviously. Plans are similar to Rogans cuda, good handling and big power. We just want it to be Nasty!

Does anyone know the final standings for the Ridler??

1. '36 - Rad Rides, who is next?? By the way, were the wheels for that car based off of the Chrysler Airflow design, I believe they had that design back in the day??

the wheels are based off of the origionals. that is also why the bolt patteren is so wide. The coolest thing with the wheels is that the 18" front wheel was scaled up by 10% to get the 20" rear wheel. this means that the bolt pattern is larger on the rear by 10% along with the rest of the wheel and center cap.

They don't give or say who finished in second place as far as I'm aware. They announce the winner and that's it.

Thanks, they are very cool!

I did not think they did, but I guess I was just curious about all the contenders, but I saw them earlier, anyway, thanks.

If I had to guess, Lobeck/Maragino '40 Ford would have been second, because it won all of the sympathy awards. Best paint, interior, detail, Alexander Bros award, and so on.
