Re: I got an award at the Fort Worth Rod & Custom Show
Thanks for all the nice comments guys! It does feel good to be recognized...I thought it was funny how many judges came by over the weekend to talk to me about it, and most of them asked the same question....does it get driven often? I intentionally left all the dead bugs in the AC condensor to prove that point!

![]() Sorry no build thread, but general stats are mild 454 with a 2004R OD Trans, 4.10 rear, Vintage AC, 71-72 Discs on front, Suburban drums out back, black interior with buddy buckets (center jump seat), factory tach gauge cluster, van tilt column, Cheyenne door panels, new chrome, emblems, mirrors, etc. It's a little peppy with the BBC, but mostly just a good cruiser. It is the factory color, but with the base/clear looks a couple shades darker in certain light, and also had white two-tone originally, which I'm contemplating redoing the top. Thanks for the tip on that...I'll have to go out and pick up a copy.

Re: I got an award at the Fort Worth Rod & Custom Show
Congrats on the trophy!! I was told by a judge once they don't like all the special displays and crap that some people put around their rides. He said if he sees mirrors showing the undercarriage, he looks closer at the body and interior. There's alot of stuff hidden when you have displays taking your attention away from the flaws. It's not always the case but sometimes is.

Re: I got an award at the Fort Worth Rod & Custom Show
sweet ride
![]() I had the same problem with my 200r... I have the brake switch and after some more adjustment at the carb it now doesn't bog going into 4th (or staying in 4th too long at lower speeds) but it does rev up a little higher in 1st before shifting to 2nd. It's the best balance I could get. I like it now. |
