Beautiful pics from the show, and your engine bay is insanely clean.

I'll second the idea of really reading the rule book for whatever class you want to compete in if you want to win. It would suck to find out that a customization suddenly had you competing against AMBR type cars.

when my brothers grand am came back completely modified, shaved 1/4 glass, handles, custom paint air brush work the class he was put in he was going up with guys who travle the isca circuit, big big dollar cars

you can do what ya want its your car but just know your going to be in a total different class and ya might be going up with some big heavy show hitters, that are 110% competitive, go for the isca points and want and NNED to win, its nuts and sometimes i would just shake my head in amaezment

first look at the isca ruel book and classes, then go from there, and ya dont want me to touch your car remember im the most horrible person on the planet
Thanks Bdyman I will stay where I am just do a couple of things each year to improve on it!!

Sorry, AMBR = America's Most Beautiful Roadster, given out at the Grand National Roadster Show. Here's a link to some info:

http://www.rodshows.com/gnrs/index.html

They claim it's the oldest indoor car show. Here's a link with a little write up and some pics from the show and of the winner, a custom 32 with Viper V10 power.

http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/...how/index.html

I was just saying that you don't want to compete against $100,000+ cars on accident. I don't know a lot about car shows, but in drag racing the wrong engine mod can get you kicked out of classes where you are competive for the amount of money you are spending.

The car is nice, but i am a firm believer that wire loom and coil covers are black for the simple reason you dont want to see or notice them....
