I don't know if Alan is stocking the 60 but he can get one quick..I'm not sure on the price but I was the one that turned him on to them..I saw them at 'SEMA a few years ago and bought 10 just for the hell of it because they were cheap...

It was good to see you at Lockheed Martin Doug. I can't wait to see you drive the "Cooper" out of the 55'. That car is just BAD.

Completely bad to the bone shoebox. You built a clone of the 56' I've been dreaming of since the mid 80's!
I've been dreaming of doing this to my 56' Post since I got it at the age of 15. Didn't have the know how back then other than sticking on some stiff circle track shocks and helper springs, when everyone else was doing pro-street.
I still have have the car a few decades later and can't wait to do the same treatment. If only the pre-made frame was in my budget...
I'm rolling my own so I'm guessing I'll be done around 2010. Oh well, thats only a 30 yr timeframe to finish it.
Maybe I'll join you with a 1956' version of your car at PowerTour 2010?
Congrats on the well deserved attention!

We need some serious video of this car!
No more teasers vids if you care at all about people living vicariously through this car.

I'm not a video photographer, but it would seem that the simplelest way I can think of doing this is to again have someone in a car along side of yours filming for a few minutes on an interstate or something.
Perhaps others experienced in car videotaping will offer their expertise.
Accelerate from a dead stop, let us hear it go through the gears. That clip of you accerlating away from the other car was awesome. Even the just cruising along with the motor noise (those 4.11's) was great. Then deaccelerating through downshifting.
And if you repeat the process a few times, you'll likely temporarily incapacitate viewers of it!
Seriously, I think you'd have something unique. If you run it at a road course at some point that would be a great place for a video also.Skip
