      Not the right car for this forum!!

      Hey all,
      I know my car is not the right car for this forum, it has been built as a cruiser. Its performance level is not great. Just needed to find out a couple of technical things as some of my driveline and suspension modifications need to be approved by the licensing department down here in Western Australia.
      If anyone is interested I have my own website with pics of the car
      www.58chev.com
      Cheers!!

      Holy Shat! That is seriously the coolest 58 I have ever seen! Hands down to you. That car is damn fine!

      Thanks

      Thanks for the nice words !!!
      If I had more money I would have built it to be a bit quicker, but I will have to settle for cruizing slow and making noise!! She barks pretty loud when it gets over 3000rpm, but only revs to about 5500!!

      The site is Pro-Touring... not Pro-Racing... (not that going fast is a bad thing).
      I think your ride fits right in. Very nice website. You have done some great work.

      Welcome... look forward to seeing more of you online!

      Cheers

      Hey 58,
      I only see one thing I wrong with that is it ain't in my driveway.
      Oh yeah, another thing-1958 was a good year(04-58=46yok)!
      Be proud and loud!
      Thanks for sharing,
      Bill
