I like gauges too- the screen -to me- just kills it-

That has to be photo chopped!!!!

Your Kidd Vette, your nephew did a great job on the video

I'm honestly amazed anyone from Ohio has this kind of talent

I thought I recognized Pittsburgh International Race Complex: PittRace from the video, not expecting it being the car is from Ohio. Went for the Pittsburgh Historic Grand Prix a few years ago.

Great looking car for sure, but holy cow, look at that chassis wiggle in the video when he is spinning those tires @ ~7:40 in the youtube video.

This car is definitely an eye catcher! Saw it at SEMA and made a quick Walkaround vid of it.

My early 68 Convertible does the same. Drive and look at the passenger side upper door gaps when driving over rough roads. You will see the body flexing. Why I like the hardtop as it keeps it all together so to speak...
and my frame, BC and rear kick ups are solid.

I noticed that also. I am not faulting his build, but rather assume all of our cars would do that. If we did big smoky burnouts. In slow motion.
Pretty crazy to watch the door gap though.

A question for those who know a lot more than me would a 6 point roll cage help to calm that shake down?
