    Really like the "hammered" finish of the powder coat. Love the new Swartz cars, period!

    Really good "bang for the buck". On the local and regional level, we're going to see them in the Winner's Circle early and often. Drown, Linville, Markham, Hornickel, Irey, Matthew Chapman, Chris Keller, and Bob Mayer, All with new cars. It's going to be good.....

    ^^^ I agree, the chassis finish is what stuck out to me. Why do the Swartz cars seem to favor closed sail panels?

    Probably to support that slope of the roof

    Not a great looking car IMO, but I do like Linville. Hope he has a good year.

    Do you guys remember the goofy looking spolier Linville ran early in the season last year?

    Would have traded the green for blue or purple.

    Audie says the closed sails are more aerodynamic. I'm sure some would disagree. I have no preference. I will say however I do run better with no windows, coincidence?? who knows?. I won like 29 races in three years with closed sails and haven't won one in two years with open ones lol. I don't think it made or ruined a season for me but when I reflect back, I had closed sails those years lol.
    Good looking car and best of luck to Linville. His step father in law did a couple bodies for me in the past and he sure did good passing his skills to Linville. Irrelevant I know, just had to say it.
    I see Audie liked the AFCO Technologies shocks that Jerry Link is doing considering the logo on the front of the car. AFCO's best investment in years.

    you got that right king1 , jerry is a sharp man when it comes to shocks, no matter what the make. I enjoyed talking to him at the ice bowl and i will say he has helped me more than any one understanding shocks,

    I'm not fastford and he probably knows more about it, but in case he doesn't see the question I'll give you what I know.

    Bullock is a local engine maker. Not as well known as the other very famous Somerset Kentucky engine maker (Cornett). They make strong engines though from what I have seen from the local guys that run them. Never hear anything bad about them. They didn't have a website last time I looked. Probably on facebook though. Seems like everyone but me is.

    Michael Chilton used to run one I think. Maybe he still does.
