Default Shameless Campaigning!

Hello All!

I am here to ask for your VOTE!

Car Craft magazine is once again running their Real Street Eliminator competition. I have been chosen as one of the 25 finalists. The competitors will be selected by popular vote through the Car Craft website.

Check out the Car Craft website:

I am number 11 on the list, and I would greatly appreciate a vote from my fellow LSx hybrid enthusiasts.

Thanks!

Andrew

My wife was trying to convince me to give this RSE thing a shot but in spite of being pretty quick and handling very well, there are some awesome vehicles entered in this thing. Besides, the aerodynamics of a 1935 Ford are about the same as a Baby Grand Piano.

The Cobra rear is a real pain in the....rear...

There is a custom cradle for mounting the diff and then the stock crossmember has to be modified. New driveshaft, custom half shafts. The subframe bushings and suspension bushings were also swapped out.
