Radius guards would suit the gasser style, but these chevys have stock rear guards and look ok...... but they need the front bumper removed :roll: :roll:

Hhhahahah, a Newcastle band started out as the Pork Hunts and went on to become the Porkers.

Gasser, but give it some grunt. We know you can do it easily enough. Any one got a cheap 308 for RB? :twisted: :twisted:

definitely go gasser style! i wanted to do that to mine for a short while, but the car is too good to do that to :lol:
go the narrowed diff though, i've never liked radiused guards even if it is closer to the period

A stickshift behind a stink hot red with a head,cam,triples and a bit of a bore would be the way to go I reckon....

Pete who fronts them is a great guy, although at one stage if he saw us walk into a gig he'd go "oh no!" Seems if he saw us he knew he would end up messy. He ran after us down Swanston walk one night so we gave him a lift to another pub. Had a ball!

Sorry for the hijack :oops:

As for the gasser RB, tinted windows are a must, no rear seat and a half cage :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
