So, you ordering one?

Yep! Wasn't that info just in Street Rodder?

I don't like the drag race style ladder bar rear suspension on a street rod.

I'm no where near being a customer but using the name Pete and Jake you'd think there would be a 4 bar set-up used on a tube front axel. Maybe it has become just a name that is thrown around to impress people with money to throw away. To me it brought to mind a design that made something work correctly. Funny how Gibbons name is back out west. It wasn't that long ago that they had moved to the Carolinas and had gone out of business. I wonder one thing though. To me this is going to be a new manufactured vehicle. It would seem to me that the doors should have some cross-bracing. Would seem like an awful lot of car could get into that opening on a side impact. GPster

so, if it were a t bucket, it'd be a lot safer?

I guess I was wrong. It was actually in HotRod, march 07 issue, pg122.

Maybe, but if this vehicle is of that company's manufacture rather than self constructed it might be under federal guidelines for side inpact crash resistance. A buyer might not be able to get it licensed or insured. Sorry but I'm suffering in a mood that "If things can go wrong, they will". GPster
