ImpoSStor SS

Josh, I'll be across the street from you at Lighthouse of Oakland County like the last few years. I'll look for you. Stewart Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

Bob, Sorry to hear about your Dad. You're right, mine's an A. I don't know anyone into T's. I can give you the name of the appraiser I've used. Beyond that, Your best bet might be to contact someone in a local chapter of a Model T club. The old guys in the Model A club know everything about their cars and are always willing to share their knowledge. I'm sure the Model T guys will be the same way. Good luck!

I've been working alot with Sunday being my only day off. Put me down as a firm "maybe".

Vince, I believe Motor City Speed in Walled Lake has the old W2W dyno. Here's a link: http://www.motorcityspeedonline.com/

I plan to be in Pontiac all day Friday & Saturday and might be at the Moose Preserve at Square Lake & Woodward Thursday evening with the turbo Buick guys.

I considered wiring mine to the brake pedal but decided durability might be an issue. I recommend you leave the solenoid in place without powering it. It takes additional effort to shift into reverse but not an objectional amount. I have plenty of leverage with the long stick but a friend did the same thing in his Mustang Cobra with a short stick and it works great.

I'm curious - How are you going to wire the reverse lock-out solenoid?

Looks Good!

One real, one not.

Keep in mind that the early Silverado SS prototype's started life as GMC Sierra's. They were available with the 6.0-AWD before the Silverado's so that's what W2W used. Kurts red turbo SSS (not the concept truck) is actually a GMC.

If it's an extended cab it would be considered a clone if you did the cladding & bumper cover. If it's a regular cab with everything it would be a PHANTOM. A clone duplicates something that already exists (like building a GTO from a LeMans or a Yenko Camaro from a base Camaro). A PHANTOM is something that was never available from the factory (like a '67 Nova convertible).

Thanks, whichever way you meant it.

For those who haven't seen the back:

That's the Chevrolet Concept that I patterned my truck after. I decided that cutting off the back of my chassis and replacing it with the coil spring back half was more than I wanted to do in my garage. The rest of my build is close to that truck including the cloth seats. Mine does have a few more creature comforts (including carpet) and a Rotrex supercharger. The RST roll pan is a poor imitation of the one on the concept. Mine is a modified BSER pan.

My truck still has the leaf springs. What made you think I'd changed it?

Here's my PHANTOM:

They're not a perfect bolt-on because every SS is different. They're designed with enough extra material to be custom fit to each truck.

Wow! Just Wow!

Congratulations on TOTM! It's good to see another PHANTOM win.

Chevrolets RCSB Silverado SS concept truck had a roll pan with the exhaust tips to match the front ducts. That look can be duplicated using the BSER rollpan.

The difference is the BSER roll pan is one of only 2 made that's designed to fit the SS body cladding.

I think the best one out there is still the Hallmark Christmas ornament. There's currently 18 of them on ebay. Sorry the photos aren't better. There are several more versions made by Matchbox.

There's an O'Reilly's (former Murray's) at Woodward & 11 1/2 mile on the east side with a large parking lot in the rear. Could that be the one?

This year on Friday & Saturday I'll be with some of the guys from Yellowbullet.com. They rented a lot in Pontiac on the south end of the Woodward loop on the southbound side. Where exactly is the Autozone on Woodward with the big lot?

I'll be there in my Impala SS. I haven't missed one yet!
