Dump another $100 grand in there and then you can play, although I don't know what you could do to improve it.

I just read your post on having your truck in the Starbird show... I showed at Starbird for about 5 years back in the nineties... I can tell you the judging for those shows are nothing short of just a joke just like Starbird... Darryl Starbird is originally from Mulvane Kansas and has claimed he built a lot of the well known cars... The Facts are he built very few of them... So when you loose at a Starbird show just consider yourself a winner...

The one that won was just like something Starbird would have built , horrible fit and finish didn't even open the hood, door jambs were hideous and had a broken taillight !

Mike, Did you use an after market shifter linkage set up with 700r4? I have been looking back through your thread for at least an hour..so I'm just going to ask! I was there any mods needed where the linkage hooks up to the trans fork? Thanks man.

they did sumtin simulair to a vw campervan : https://www.youtube.com/results?sear....1.bDUzmYIcNFE
i was sitting there looking at the tv going like I WOULD NEVER FIX THAT ONE EVER , it was more rust and holes than van , made for a good show though

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

Some nice trucks there! You forgot to show us your layout....

Love the VeeWees too. The dude that bought my bus has a build thread on the Samba - full-on rotissere. It's fun to follow that along. Did the Ghia make the Fine Nine? It's pretty radical!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great pics!

My wife woulda picked something like the Nova, also---but not the woodie. I got her a classic once and she dissed it. She said, I want something that goes from 0 to 140 in three seconds.

So I got her a set of scales.
