Here's a kool picture of my ride from a photographer I meet at a local car show,,,,he does nice work.

Nicely done collage

I gotta say I liked it a lot better in post #1 & 11, before you gave Mike Lavallee the big $$$$, but beauty's in the eye of the beholder. Nice picture.

Yes Roger, I know it isn't mine or even your car to say, but I did like the paint job before the flames. Just something about a car with a plain paint job, even black on a fibreglass body, that shows simply how straight the panel work is, then the flames tend to distract ones eye away from the overall finish of the body. Another thing I'm not keen on is naming a car, eg, 1 bad 32 as in this case, as there will always be someone who has build a meaner quicker car and although this example has the looks, doesn't mean it has the grunt to go with it or the owner driver prepared to use the loud pedal to proof it. Now, before anybody starts opening their gun cabinets and loading for bear, me , this is just my opinion....so please don't take offense at this post, but then again if you didn't want comments you wouldn't of posted pictures.... Actually , having another look, " Killer 32 ".

I like it....looks killer.

Just because I wouldn't do flames on my car doesn't mean I can't appreciate it on yours.


PS: I suspect you've said this here previously but please tell me how much boost you run with your blower and what the CR is in your 383...thanks. In fact, I'll go look in another of your threads for that.

nice looking car.
i like it with and without the flames!

Nice photographic work!

Whiplash,,I would never get upset with anything you say,,I understand that it's totally your opinion.
I also really liked it when it was all black,but I've always had cars that were "just a little different" than the rest.
I LOVE it the way it looks!!!
Thanks for looking!!

Hot Rod Nick,,I'm running about 7 lbs of boost w/ the 6-71,,I'll have to get back to w/ the cam specs tomorrow.
I was going thru my engine specs and it actually has bout 615 hp at the engine,,,I had better correct the # in the pictures!

^ thanks. That bad 32 must be quite peppy

Nick,,it's too scary sometimes,,,I had a 2006 supercharged vette with about the same hp but this ride is about 1000 lbs lighter!!!

I can relate a little bit to what you're saying. My roadster only has a bit shy of 550hp, a little more torque, and when asked I usually say something about it being "lethally violent in a pleasant and satisfying way". My Supra has more power, over 700 @ crank, and is faster and handles better than a runaway stagecoach, but the roadster is definitely quicker until approaching triple digit speeds. One day soon I want to line 'em up with me in the '32.

That really is "1Bad32"-gorgeous, and I'm on the fence about the flames, as I am contemplating the same issue, but nonetheless, I love it (especially the tailights)-

Thanks for not shooting me. To be totally honest, as I am all the time, so why do we say that , but I digress, I had to go back a check out the tail lights too. Now just on the hush and certainly don't let the other fellas' know I said this, I so like your interior and the colour choice, the rear end of the car is pretty pleasing on the eye too . So maybe just the art work on the trunk lid is my stumbling point. In saying that , I would be damn proud to have that baby sitting in my garage too.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words!!
