Default OT - Went to the shop that makes Elenors tonight.

Cool place, they have about 12 or more in the process of completions. All grey with various motor options. My girlfriend dad was there showing is 64 1/2 factory correct Rustang for Ford.

I also meet Chip Foose filming for Rides, the guy is down to earth and definetly likes cars. Although it was a Ford function, I had a pretty good time. :D

Those Mustangs look too "Ricey" to me, to each his own but, I'll take my Vette over a Stang any day. I don't even give them the time of day when they challenge me at a stoplight, I don't think their worthy of my attention! I've owned a Boss 302 in a previous life and it was an OK car but, my 69 Z/28 was far better at performing than the Boss was. I did drive a 69 Boss my engine machinist friend built into a 347 stroker but even then with it's 2.25" intake valves it was kinda doggy at the lower end but, did get a lot of attention on the street but, then so does my LT-1 especially after I put the Toque Thrust wheels on it. My LT-1 will out run a Z06 except in a fuel mileage/comfort race but, I don't see myself going down the road every day either!

Chip Foose is a nice guy and maybe fond of Fords, but I think he has either a 53' or 54' vette.

I saw quite a few Corvettes in the parking lot.

I must say that I like the 'Elenor' look, think it looks very cool. :cool:

I just hope they are faster than the original matching #'s '69 Shelby GT500 we had, alothough that's not saying much. :D
