THE FOLLOWING IS UNSOLICITED TESTIMONY FROM MICHELLE'S HUSBAND/CHASSIS BUILDER/CREW CHIEF DAVE GALE

'All the above possible because I purchased a Suncoast '63 Vette body and Chassis kit from Richard Earle's Suncoast Race Cars. From the quality parts to the detailed instructions, to the technical support nothing could be easier. Just think one guy, one Suncoast kit, 18 months in my garage, Wa La Race Cars, I just ordered another body/chassis kit combo. Dave Gale

Patrick's unsolicited testimony is as follows:

When I decided to build a car capable of going quicker than 7.50's, I turned to my good friend Camp Stanley, original member of the Sonny's 200 mph club and asked who he'd trust. He told me to call Suncoast, and I'm glad I did.

When the kit hit our suburban 2 car garage, the instructions were concise, the body straight and the bends dead on. The car came with the double frame rail option, and many were skeptical that such a stiff car could 'work' with our smallish 585 ci engine. I didn't want to outgrow another race car and wanted it ready for eventual 6 second 200 mph duty, even though our engine budget dictated we'd be in the low sevens for a while. To our amazement, (as well as some of the nay -savers) the car went arrow straight with very efficient front half incremental, nearly right away. With a glide, a 4.10 gear and 35" tires, we carded several consecutive 1.08, 3.03 60 and 330 foot splits on the way to 7.30 et's, at legal Outlaw Street weight with DOT tires.

We never had a car that actually ran the front half better than the back end, and it is a testament to Suncoast's service after the sale. Richard has been right there with us, tuning and assisting us over the phone. You can do a lot worse than call Richard and Mike, I'm a Suncoast customer for life!

Patrick Budd is the tech director for the National Street Car Association and ran "straight as a string", low 7's "right out of the box" and is looking at the 6's. Patrick purchased his 2K-1 Vette coupe & chassis kit, "second hand, still in the crate" after calling Suncoast to make sure he would still receive the same factory support & tech information as if he bought it directly from us.

Thanks for a great chassis kit. We call it a '34 Plymouth. It has a 520 Mopar race block with B-1 heads and intake, a power glide and a Ford 9". We hope to run it in the next couple of weeks
