The ULTIMATE Supercar

The short-lived, under-supported, cobra-klling CHEVROLET CHEETAH.

Conceived by Bill Thomas and compaigned in the 1964-65 race season with 11 First Place wins before Thomas' Anaheim, CA shop burned down, destroying the tooling to create these beautifully swoopy fiberglass bodies.

Many believe the fire was the end, but few knew the real truth that Chevrolet pulled the plug on it's racing involvement previous to the Arson, er, I mean tragic incident (many feel Ford had the building burned down to prevent any competition to their beloved Shelby Cobra, as Thomas continued to try and support the car after Chevy cut the imbilicle). The fire was simply the straw that broke the Camel's back. Several companies are producing kit versions.

Vintage Tire Size Conversion Chart

This should be kinda self-explanatory, you just kinda need to read it left to right. Personally, I have been looking for one of these for two months.

The fucking chart didn't copy very well, so here's where I got it from: http://waywardgarage.com/2245/vintage-tire-size-conversion-chart/

Kiwi Kev's Backyard

Ventura, California's KIWI KEV has, hands-down, the hotrodding paradise in his backyard. It is my dream set-up ad now I have direction for what I want someday...

Also, my uncle told of having an Australian guy put the volare subframe under hs apache many, many years ago. I asked him if the guy was rather from New Zeandland and if his name was Kevin? "That's the guy!" My Uncle Kenny replied.

I sent KIWI KEV a PM on the HAMB and sure enough, he remembers my uncle's truck.

Enjoy a little bit of paradise...
