Yup, thats the one that Chevy built to showcase the inline 5 engine. 
I wonder if I can get them to build another front rollpan for my '48....

Looks pretty sweet. I can see where the styling
for the SSR came from. The only thing I don't like
is the back. I don't think the vortec logo or
vette lights fit the bodylines of the truck.

Agreed... its a good thing my '48 is still down in Santa Rosa. 1200 miles is a decent barrier. I'm broke, and don't need any excuse to be more so

You guys seen American Hotrod at all
on the Discovery Channel?
I can't believe the amount of work that
goes into one of those restorations!
I mean I've read alot about it but
to see the amount of man hours.
Whew.
After I see shows like that I want to go
out and get a pinstriper to go crazy on my
AV!
