Re: Car Craft Street Machine Nationals "Stuff"
Cool stuff for sure. A Street Machine Nats belt buckle? Way cool.
 I can remember attending a Car Craft Street Machine Nats in or around Buffalo, NY when I was still grade school, probably 1990 or so. I can remember being blown away by a full tube chassis, neon graphic'd Pro Street Beretta, which was practically a brand new car at the time. I can also remember seeing Scott Sullivan's '66 Chevy II, which I believe was built in '79, and at the time was regarded as the car that started the narrowed rear, Mickey Thompson Sportsman, blower through the hood, monochrome bumpers, satin finish aluminum centerline wheels, wheelie bars, "Pro Street" movement that as all the rage in the early 90s. I'm sure I've got some snap shots laying around somewhere, maybe I can dig them out and post them here. And I was born in '79...so that really seems like a long time ago for me.

Re: Car Craft Street Machine Nationals "Stuff"
Yikes...back in '79 when I was catching my first glipse of daylight, the Oscar for best picture went to Kramer vs. Kramer (Hoffman & Streep) The Pittsburgh Pirates won the World Series and the Steelers won the Superbowl for the 4th time. ( And neither has won one since
 ) Perhaps worst of all...the new '79 Z28 Camaro had a whopping 175 horses...and that's if you didn't have CA emissions. If only I'd have been born 30 years earlier, I'd have been 20 years old in 1969.  Who says it's so great to be young?

Re: Car Craft Street Machine Nationals "Stuff"
Bill are you refering to this car? He built it in '82.
Have you framed those CC Nats stickers yet? They are itching to be put on your RS/SS...you know!
