Pictures when I can get them!

Rick, the car will not have scoops, a roll bar, Webers, etc. I am attempting to (at least visually) make it as close to the way the small blocks came off the boat from AC 45 years ago. As Jeff has suggested, my attempt here is to have this alongside my FIA, one lean and the other mean.

Absolutely beautiful Jim! ERA could have another winner on their hands...like they're not busy enough.

And if anyone buys a slabside and tries to put a roll bar in it....well ERA should just refuse to sell the car to them.

To their credit, they did insist that Jim discretely tuck the nitrous button up under the dash.

There was a red slabside entered into the Palo Alto Concours last year that had a roll bar (and Webers) installed in it. I thought it looked fine, but not what I would want to do. Jim has a vision and it's a nice one. Love black with red interior too.

That leads me to a question ... did any 'slab side' cars come with a roll bar? All of the photos that I have seen of these cars, they don't have them. Anyone out there seen one with a roll bar?
