It has been a bit of delay between thought an action, but here you go... From UmeƄ, Sweden this summer... A really awesome Streetmachine from Norway, Among "Top Ten"; A Cuda with Airride, 440-Blower with 750Horsepowers and 980Nm... The owners own oppinion was that it is "reasonable numbers" :lol:

Glad you enjoyed them Bob! :) Yes, it usually is the best event in the northern Sweden, and the cruisings are awesome. Lot's of nice car's and everykinds of people appreachiate the old cars and are gathering along the streets to watch them car's cruising by... :thumbsup: Even the cop's are friendly and helpful. There are one place i been too where the city municipality making the cop's opposing the cruisings. Blocking parking lots etc :|
Anyhow, too bad the winter are coming and we have to waith another 6 or 7 months to next season... :tears:

I enjoyed looking at those very much. Thanks for posting them.

(think I would have used a flat hood on the blown Cuda though :wink: )

Thanks Dave :D Yeah, i agree with you. I have had my dreams to have a blower like that on mine, and had that same thought about how strange it would look with the R/T hood... But now when i saw this, it did not come out as bad as i thought do... But even so, a flat hood should look better! :thumbsup: :p: It was kind of cool, when i was trying to make a snap on that rear end underneith, he must have seen that and raised the car higher :biggrin: Pretty cool with a Challenger to have a Airride(?) It must be the first muscle car i've seen to have that? Sweet! :)
