Steve,
Your project is awesome!! I assume you are doing the work yourself.

Where in Texas do you live?

cool,

im on the east side of houston,

do you ever go to any car shows in houston?

I try and go to the one at James Coney Island on 59 and 1960 in Humble on saturday nights, lot of older cars usually 3-5 (67-72's) quite a lot of trucks on bags, haven't seen the cops harass anyone in the parking lot, they just sit on 1960 and wait for people to leave doing burnouts or hauling ass.

You Houston guts should check out the street meet.It is on the North side of Houston.If you do a search on "Crusin' times" you should get a address and be able to find it.While you're there pick up a copy of the magazine "Crusin' Times". It will have most of the shows and cruses in Tx in it.

If you can't find it PM or E-mail me and I'll see if I can't scare up a contact for you.
