Default My Brother Did It Again

My brother entered his car in the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion car show, in Bowling Green KY, back in June. They have a Top 25 Pick and his car was included in the Top 25.

The Top 25 were invited to the NHRA Finals in Indy August 29 - September 3. During the finals they have a car show consisting of all the cars they have picked at each race track where they have the Hot Rod Reunions. At the show in Indy they pick the Best Of The Best, it's called the "Bob Daniels Award".

Rickey received the "The Bob Daniels Award", I'm so proud of my brother and all the details he put into his car. He preformed all the work except the wiring and interior.

Wow. Congratulate him for me. He did a great job. The clean lines of the engine compartment are fabulous and the engine itself looks awesome, especially the velocity stacks! Great work and nice pics too, thanks for sharing them with us.

Very cool! Congrats again. Now I need some info. The bracket that the rear shacks attach to, the pivot is it aluminum or steel? What rate are the rear springs? Hope to run into y'all soon.

The car is gorgeous but we have all ready established that.
At least everyone else is realizing it too.
Well done!
