Something just doesn't look right about the Hairy Glass 68 pro mod bodies to me. For some reason the Tim McAmis look better. Good luck Chief!

The "Tim" body has a lot of the much later F-Bird looks. "Snake Eyes" flatter hood, etc where the other "Blue" body has a "Down the Hill" gentle slope.
Without the Hood Scoop the aero would probably still be slightly better on the Blue Car.

There is no doubt about it, that is NOT a street car. The shows name needs to be changed. The list will change to a bunch of pro moded street cars. The little guys will be gone (like Cutty and Varley). There will be no small tires left on that list eventually. Why do you guys think Chuck is going big tire now? He want's to stay on the show, so he has to start making clean passes. I don't blame him smart move. There should be 2 top ten lists
Small tire and big tire.

Andrade back halved his car a year ago.

The only main difference in the cars that have been on the show and a pro-mod is a composite body and front suspension configuration.

Deputy's Firebird that was on the KC show is not a pro-mod, even tho they called it as such, it has an OEM shell, the car isn't much different than Shawn's Nova or Chief's GTO outside of the front suspension configuration. The only major difference between Deputy's Firebird and Kye Kelley's Camaro is the superchager vs nitrous, the cars themselves are very similar in build.

The Stude is a pro-mod.

If its on TV or the Internet it must be true.
