Anyone with such meticulous attention to playing with his rocks will be welcomed here.....

Nice cars! Although, I don't think I'll ever really like cab-forward bodies....

It took along time for me to adapt to the style...

I still haven't adapted to cab forward bodies, I still put old school bodies on new cars.

Looks good though.
I was old school - when old school wasn't cool !

I don't think of my 22 as having a cab forward body.

All of my race cars have them (except my vintage racer) and they make a huge performance difference everywhere. But of course no one is required to run them-

My 22SCT shell is slammed 1.5" lower than stock, and had a huge performance gain- sure, the relief.cutouts on the hood look odd, and the enlarged wheel openings look dumb, but it was good for a full second an a half lap time improvement.

If it doesn't go fast, Chrome it. If it goes fast, there is no time to see the details anyway!!

That is still cab forward, just low profile. Kind of looks old school...
