We wrote an article exposing a kit-car company called Streetbeasts.

Now, they've tried to silence us with a frivolous lawsuit.

Guess what happens when unethical companies try to bully hotrodders out of their free speech?
Get the details, and see how you can lend a hand.

update..more pics..083105

Just to add a few more pics..monetary constraints don't allow for much improvement..
The custom dash shows well..but had to isolate the ignition switch and collar as the aluminum dash plate was causing a ground and battery drain..car wouldn't start..that took some searching to find.

replaced trans...new pics

Found the old Fairbanks turbo400 transmission not up to par. It was toast. Took to local transmission place for repairs and it needed a rebuild. Traded the used Fairbanks for a rebuilt Chevy turbo400 with 1500 stall convertor. Total outlay...$300.00 canadian dollars. One week later...back downon the ground and running.
Here's some recent photos of car.

Done and counting...2003...2004

Couldn't wait to put the car on the road in 2003 spring...had a wonderful year and then noticed the trans slipping...not from dragging either...just years of neglect...should have checked before I drove it. It only sat for 8 years in a field then my place for three more. I'll probably replace the trans and rebuild the Fairbanks as funds become available or sell it .../mkf

Time for the unveiling...Sept..2002

The paint ...as bad as it is for a novice...is done. The reconstruction of the car has begun and finishing touches are added as needed. Sure feels good to drive after all the suspension work..brakes,lines,shocks,etc.
