This past weekend at Saratoga, there was a GTOAA convention. CVMS (my shop) received national recognition on Muscle Car TV for building the 400 Ram Air III in the "Concours" and "People's Choice" award winner!
The car is a gorgeous (obviously...) powder blue '70 Judge. The man gave us credit right there in front of the camera! He bought the car from another that was the original customer, so I don't know him. He showed a lot of class by telling the truth!
There are pics of the car on the Performance Years site under "Judges Only" forum.
Hey, I don't get recognized very often, so I just HAD to tell someone!!!

Thanks guys...
There was one pic of the car in a thread on PY.
72,
Just happen to have a tall-deck 427 block, .030" over, will clean at .060. Also have a steel crank and some Eagle 6.8" rods. How fast you wanna go? ($$$) One of my guys has a '69 Chevelle running high 5s (1/8 mile) with a 5-speed manual, 447 CID (.100 over 427). It's a "baby big block" by today's CID standards. He shifts at 8,200... All motor, no adders. It's been 9.40s, but has some traction issues. Yes, we truly DON'T care what color you paint it, we can build it!
