Thanks Buzz, I always liked the road going versions clean lines.
this is where the inspiration came from CSX3275

Slabside is a great idea if you don't have a wide garage.....

Hey Hoity,
In a nutshell, it's the nickname for the 289 shape or not 427 wide rear end...

"Slabside" came about due to the flat (like a concrete slab) side of the early cars, in comparison to the curvy 427 later shape.
