Pics from my Uncle's car show (SC), and shop...

[AFSil80]

Just sharing some of the pics I took at a car show that my Uncle Pete hosts at the local tech college (Trident Tech; Charleston, SC) every year. He's been a teacher there while running his shop, but he's retiring now and this was his farewell show as director. I also included a few pics of some of the new setup for his '67 Chevy II Nova.

On to the pics:

Autometrics came with their race hauler and a fleet of cars, including 2 GT3 Cup Cars, 2 street cars, and a GORGEOUS Ford GT.

Now I know about MG. But I've never seen or heard of this car. But it's constructed out of DRY CARBON.

$$$$$ front end setup for his '67. Heights Front end. Wilwood brakes. It's going to save him about 250 lbs by removing the heavy steel steering rack and pitman arm.

3 lb. aluminum calipers...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/AFSil80/DSCN3592.jpg

He intends to put this in soon...as well as his 406ci nitrous motor...he's been running all motor for years. His new setup consists of Manley Rods and SRP pistons...should be even more badass than it already is...

Hope y'all enjoyed the pics...Next session of pics should be of him at the track...

God your uncle is a bad ass.

[OTG Signs]

I love that MG. Best car there.

[SUBY_RUE]

Great pics, its always nice to see some old schools done right...

[AFSil80]

God your uncle is a bad ass.

Yes, he is a 200% certified over 9000 grade badass.


I love that MG. Best car there.

It was a def. eye catcher. As odd as it sounds, I fell in love with the '70 Mach 1. The guy has owned the car for 5 years, bought it with no powerplant. My uncle says he paid too much for it, but the guy wanted a legit Mach 1. I can't fault him for that, haha.

The story behind the Alfa-Romeo is a pretty good one, too. Not much else to tell aside from the caption I put above it's pic.

great cars and pics

[JEY$JDM]

Fikse FTW!!!! my dad up at DSE in Mooresville NC takes tonz of orders from rich ppl wanting those wheels on they cars! lol sexi stuff...

[Brian*]

Some BEAUTIFUL cars REP FOR YOU!!

[green91]

Gees what a nice collection of cars for a show! Why would your uncle wanna retire from that??

[AFSil80]

Haha, my uncle turns 65 on Wednesday. He was a shop owner since the 80's, and taught mainly night-classes at the tech school on the side. He sold the public shop a few years back, and continued to do work out of the shop on his property.

He started hosting the car shows in the school parking lot 18 years ago to raise funds for the auto-tech program. They'll keep doing the shows, but since he's retiring from the school, he's also turning over the controls of the car show to the program director.

He's a great person, and has helped a lot of the local guys out. He's where I got my desire for cars/racing, and he's also to blame for me being overly-anal when it comes to attention to detail and racing safety.

^ hell yeah...

[2turbo4u]

Great show and the Yenko in your Uncle garage does it for me!

[M!SSBOSS]

[WalkS]

Awesome coverage bro! Now it's time to come home and get that CA18 running buddy!

[Glides]

Wow. The Vette looks like the Batmobile. I love it.

Also really dig that Cale Yarbrough special Cyclone. I watched him race when I was like 10 or something. Rare car.

Good photos.

[AFSil80]

I appreciate it, y'all!


Awesome coverage bro! Now it's time to come home and get that CA18 running buddy!

[PreludeVTEC01]

[AFSil80]

[AZN_Pride]

Is that a true Yenko or a cloan?

[AFSil80]

No idea. It belongs to a friend of my Uncle's. I'll be back there in a few weeks, so I'll find out for sure.
