(Photos and words by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Race cars, pace cars, Pro Street, and more.\u00a0 These are cars that parade, some that go around turns, and many that go quick in a straight line.\u00a0 There were more than a few early GMs with late-model power dropped between the frame rails to provide trouble-free beast mode.\u00a0 A \u201969 Camaro corner-carver instead opted for a SBC using EFI on a crossram manifold.\u00a0 Not exactly old school, but not late-model power either.\u00a0 I like.<\/p>\n

The stack-injected red Mercury was making folks\u2019 eyes pop and as it left the building those zoomies had the song of our people echoing off the surrounding structures.\u00a0 Two vehicles I really wanted to capture ended up not turning out.\u00a0 Every image of Mike Wagner\u2019s Shelby Daytona replica and his streamliner project were messed up in one way or another.\u00a0 Mike had the Daytona in the Summit Chop Shop putting all new Holley EFI and such on it.\u00a0 The plan was to fire it for the load out, but the battery wasn\u2019t having it.\u00a0 The thing fired up once they got it back in the shop and supplied the proper voltage.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been following the streamliner build from the first drawings and last year brought you some images of the bare chassis.\u00a0 Now the suspension is built (not bought) and the sub structure for the body is coming together.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a while since I did a shop tour of Cornfield Customs so I\u2019ll schedule something and bring you everything that\u2019s in the works.<\/p>\n

Still more to show so keep checking in.<\/p>\n
