It's been a challenging winter here in New England. We're supposed to get a bit more snow tomorrow, but then temperatures are forecast to soar into the 50s by the weekend! I thought the flamed Hot Rod would look cool in the snow this morning. When I went to start the car, the battery was dead reminding me how long it has been since the weather was nice. Maybe it’s been the long winter, but I can’t remember a year when I have wanted spring to arrive as badly.

We should have the details on the HB Cruise-In, Hot Rod Power Tour, Open House, and the rest of plans for this spring/summer posted on our website shortly.

Love that shot and the stance.

Is it just the rear wheels that make it look like that or are the back tires taller than 26"
Any straight on side shots of that car??

Dale,

Fronts are 245/40/R18's that net a tire height of just over 25" (25.375).
Rears are 295/30/R20's with a tire height of 26.25".

I don't have a side shot and I was freezing me arse off when I took this shot at 9am and 20 some degrees. I like the stance too and I think it's the combo of the tire heights and a bit of ride heght help on the coil-overs. I asked Jim what specs he used for align/ride height and he couldnt remember. It's not too extreme tho because I drove the car last fall to the Bass Pro Shops cruise-in, putting about 125 miles on her with nothing but grins for handling.

Hey Dave if you enter that shot for POM you can take some out of the left pocket and put it in the right. HEHE
