Seattle roadster show

Postby Freddie » 05 Mar 2005 9:03

Ok, just came back from the 2005 seattle roadster show, and unfortunatley, it was full of 1990's three spoke billet wheels and tweety-bird yellow cars! However, there were two super cars, the hammer built by pure vision and an old altered wheelbase drag car!

Ditto!

I'd give my eye teeth to watch some of the original AFX/ AWB cars run. :s002: Acid- dipped doorslamers running nitromethene. Ohhh yerrrrss!! :twisted: Personal favourite: 'Dandy' Dick Landy's '65 wheel- standing AWB. Mental.

I got my hands on an old mag, and guess what I found? It feels right to post the scans in this thread. Tip of the day: Do a 25kg weight saving thanks to driving without front brakes!!!!!! I recommend it NOT. :disbelief: But it is cool :s023: BTW: Is the car familiar? :?

I seen them build the hammer on a program called rides, was late getting it to sema, but once there it was a hit.

I agree, $16 bucks to get in and very few cool Mopars.

There was a nice 'Cuda and a pretty cool 340 Dart though.

I went to get ideas on wheels for my challenger, anybody have any suggestions.

After 15 years (it was my first car) I finally have the time (actually with a 7 week old in the house there's not much time) and money (yeah right) to spend making it the way I've been imagining for years.

This is getting better by the minute, since now we have 4 members with challengers in the Seattle area, welcome to the board!

Thanks, since my car has been at the shop for the last three years and I'm in the process of putting it back together, Having this site helps me get my "Fix" of all things Challenger.

I'll get some progress pictures up soon in the members area.
