Jeff, nice car, I've heard those go pretty good and you could be buying tires as often as gas. If you took the Mallet logo's off you would have one sneaky sleeper.

Thanks Guys

Dick that's the problem with the Mallet's almost no one knows about them, they had permission to convert up to 300 cars (solstice & sky's) 100 a year for 3 years to be sold thru GM dealers, but a combination of the high price & bad economy led to less than 100 converted. Mallet would put in your choice of a LS2, LS3, or LS7 NA or Supercharged, depending on your Budget of course.
My car is just the way I like it, almost a total sleeper. It surprises a lot of much higher priced hardware. Sort of like a Modern 427 Cobra, but with a good stereo, roll up windows & A/C.

Brad, I like any 70-74 GS, but those 70's are my favorite.

I've got to say that MCACN has to be the absolutely best show I've ever been to. If someone has never been there, they owe it to themselves to attend. It really is that good.

Clyde, you and your fellow workers deserve a round of applause for your efforts. Above and beyond. And I thank you for your efforts there.

This was the 10th Anniversary for MCACN. It has become nationally recognized for the the best Muscle Car Show that constantly brings in different cars from across the world. I just play a very small role in it but it is fun being involved in what has become such a well renowned and respected show.

Kevin Oeste, the creator of V8TV and Spokesman for MCACN & SEMA honored one of my GSX's as Muscle Car of the Week. Very proud of this!

I can relate to Kevin Oeste the first time I learned about your car was from Car Craft in 1984 (A Car is Born) :D Kevin did a nice job that is a great video!

It is so much easier to build something with off the shelf parts. It is a struggle to restore something to showroom condition. So many stories along the way searching for OEM and NOS parts. I have my hot rod projects but I enjoy the restoration hunt even more.
