      Looking For A PHR Feature Car In a Warm Climate...

      ...and soon too! There are a lot of nice cars going together locally right now, but they aren't quite done. Larry Radcliff's Buick, Kris Horton's Chevelle, Steve Strope's GTO, etc...

      Does anybody have something not requiring assembly? I'm kinda low on model glue these days.

      If you have something cool (especially if it's NOT a '67-'69 Camaro and NOT wearing Torque Thrust II wheels), I'd like to see what you've got. I can fly out to you, but I'm not going into snow, ice or freezing rain. (Of course, it's your choice to meet me in the warm weather, your schedule permitting.)

      Florida, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Louisiana, Georgia, So Cal, I need your input on this. I'll even buy dinner when we're done! (McDonalds here we come...)

      Try me at [email protected].

      Comment removed. Keep it civil. - Admin.

      "If you have something cool (especially if it's NOT a '67-'69 Camaro and NOT wearing Torque Thrust II wheels), I'd like to see what you've got." ...... I couldn't agree more on those two points and I have a '68 Camaro. If you really indeed want to see some killer cars with unbelieveable engineering and overall performance; go to www.HybridZ.org and look around.

      "I'm not going into snow, ice or freezing rain" ....... what about an ultra cool abandoned warehouse shoot??? :icon996:

      Sadly, I think that statement will soon include '69-'70 Mustangs too...

      Why don't you give Chris McDonald in Florida a shout?
      1969 Corvette... I think the name is still original.... the rest of the car is re-done.

      Johnny,
      I'll have to make a couple of phone calls, but I know of a recent build-up of a 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Now before you say "give Rod & Custom a call" let me say this car is full Pro Touring. And it's finished. The owner purchased a total-resto '57 Bird and promptly delivered it to Sachse Rod Shop in Sachse, TX. There, it was completley blown apart, a whole new custom 2 x 3 chassis was fabbed. A custom front suspension was hung on the front, and an IRS from a late-model Ford Cobra was installed out back. The same Cobra also donated a blown 4.6 and a 5spd. I'm not sure on rolling stock. The last time I saw it, it was rolling on 17's , but I think the owner wanted to go with 18's. The owner of Sachse Rod Shop was my instructor at a couple of metal fabrication classes I took at a local community college. I know him personally and can make the call if your interested.

      Sorry to offend anyone.......
      directly insulting a magazine asking for OUR cars to feature will not be tolorated.
      Consider yourself warned. If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing.
