Default Catfish is best batterdipped and fried



Been for a long time, thought I'd officially register so that I can post questions instead of searching

Love the Ellis, no offense but most catfish are ugly, WS6s on the other hand are hot. As for the name, it's the name of my "project". Project being in "" because it is still in the pre-conception/researching stage.

See some familiar faces on here, some from other national boards, some from the local STL boards.

Anyway, thought I'd say hey and LET'S GO CARDS!

See you all in the hybrid section

Welcome.

You will probably find that the "catfish" salvage car is cheaper and easier to find than a WS6 car, but both are the same important hardware for the conversion. .

Are you saying Camaro's are ugly and Mustang's aren't? I think you got it backwards.

You do have a point there, but there is a certain Japanese "vundercar" that everyone and their great grand aunt that this also happened to, so I guess we are in good company??

That's pretty good.

It's alright though just because you don't like my car doesn't bother me at all.. Although I'm going to say I do like the Fox Bodys

I like the lines of a Camaro, even more so on an SS. A lot more exciting than a foxbody IMO. But I do agree, WS6s are sex.

Lol, imho fox's are turds from my and my friend's experience. His car is just like mine except he has LT's and Trickflow heads instead of shorties and GT40P's. HE has 3.73 and I have 4.10's. He runs 13.9@101 and I go 14.4@97.8. We both hope its b/c we have a 670 Street Avenger vacuum carb. I dunno. Fully built cars from the shocks up and they are lucky to hit 13's...depressing.
