    Nick is the montreal Mopar shop guy, but he does the odd Buick as well. Cool 455 Dyno run.

    At around 16:50 you can watch a float bowl bolt walk out of the carb!!!

    Nick and his gang are the SAME guys we raced in ROUND 3 of the HEMI VS STAGE 1 shoot outs.The race was sanctioned by the GSCA.With brother Duane's GSX STAGE 1.Richard Lasseter was involved in ROUND 1 with OL BLUE. And Bob Lindquist ran in ROUND 2, with his Triple Black Stage 1.We raced Nick and beat his 1971 Lime Light Green Hemi 'Cuda.And WON Round 3.We Built and restored Duane's GSX at our shop.An Award winning show quality magazine cover feature GSX.It pioneered the Stock Appearing Class with the GSCA far back in the 80'S.The car is a low 11 second ET totally stock appearing GSX. No one has seemed to connect or realize that Nick is the one and the same Nick involved in the round three shoot out.We really like to keep a low profile and stay under the radar.The only reason we are mentioning it, is that so people realize that Nick was involved in the round three shoot out with his 71 'Cuda and is one and the same. The race is documented on a DVD available with the GSCA.

    I've watched a bunch of Nick's videos he seems like a really nice solid dude! No matter what brand he's loyal to he's still a cool car guy in my books!:)
