This was at the West point car show here in Nebraska today. The owner is from Griswold Iowa. He said I could put a few on Moparts for him. All I had was my Phone camera..

how was the show? Every year we seemed to have the moparama show the same weekend as west point. Was thinking of going down but chose to go to TVD for the stock/super stock race. Sorry no pics of that.

I took 4 pictures, its got a Larry Morgan built pro stock HEMI. He told me a little about the engine, but he said its got a .950 lift cam ish, and he is running 1.7 rockers to mellow it out....

I didnt get much time to BS with him, as we were kinda on our way home...

Last one, The brake rotors were cut on a mill to look like a saw blade. Im not one for huge rims, but this was the ONLY exception for me...

Awsome car. Red interior, custom tinned dash, nascar type pedals, and a pistol grip...

He said its a street car, he said its pretty good really, gets like 6 MPG down the highway though. Also said it really has decent manners for what it is. Never overheats, and idles good...

As usual it was a good show. I counted 2 A12 cars, and 4 hemi cars. Always a good one, but WAY too many chevelles, and Crameros..

I always wondered if anyone used a P/S Hemi for a street car and how it would cool with the itty bitty coolant passages

I honestly was so blown away by how COOL the car was, I didnt ask. I know it had a lift off hood, but it wasnt around, he left it just leaning up against the wall of the building behind him.

He is a pretty cool guy.. Down to earth.

Im going to be the odd man out and say that car does nothing for me. To me it looks like some Foose designed machine. I can certainly appreciate the work, time, and money put into that car...other than the paint, there isnt anything appealing to me about it

If this thing was going down the road, you would NEVER think its got a PS hemi in it. Its got full exhaust, and yes the wheels are huge, but its subtle, and MEAN...

To each his own though.

that depend on how long it takes to drive off the trailer




Well his trailer was about 3 miles from the show, and he had to sit for a while to get his spot, and idle down the 4 blocks through main street to where he is parked, so It cant heat up too badly, but Im sure he doesnt take his kids to shcool in it.
