Here's a fantastic promo shot of The Latenight Callers,
clearly up to no good:

Damn, I love this car. Even with transmission issues
(linkage problems, including no way to get into 1st gear and tricky 4th and
reverse) and sloppy suspension, this thing is a blast to drive! All of this will
be remedied soon with new suspension components that'll drop the whole chassis
about 2" and help it grip like a modern sports car. Also, a modern 6-speed
double-overdrive transmission is soon to replace the old 4-speed. Why shouldn't
muscle cars get to enjoy high-tech handling, too? Why shouldn't they also have
low revs on the highway and lots of gear ratios to choose from? Well, this one
sure will!
More on this soon, as the parts are already starting to
arrive. Next up: into the garage for a tear-down and build-up. Can't wait.
These photos were taken in downtown Lawrence, just across
the street from The Bottleneck, where tonight a few of us went to see the
fantastic band, The Latenight Callers,
born here in town but now operating
mostly out of Kansas City. Don't know them? They ROCK. Check 'em out on their
website
or visit them on
their
Facebook page. Get to know them now so you can say you knew them before they
were famous.
Below is Krysztof Nemeth, a friend and co-founder of
the band. I took this shot using his smartphone with no flash and some funky digital
effects - blurry, yes, but he liked it this way so here it is:
