Kenny is still running leaf springs under the car, albeit with upgraded
QA1 shocks and
Calvert split mono-leafs. Up front he’s added

Originally red, white, and blue in color, Scotty Rodgers covered it in the striking House of Kolor paint. On the inside you’ll find a black vinyl interior with a 10-point cage and five-point harnesses for safety. Unlike many racing-dedicated machines with similar performance capability, it still has both front seats and the rear bench so Laflower can take the family or his racing buddies out for a spin in style.
What Laflower has assembled is, in a lot of ways, the perfect muscle car: the timeless styling of days-gone-by, with the modern powerplant and running gear of today’s highly-refined wonders. And while the LS platform has proven itself capable of far more than he’s pressed it, Laflower says he’s content right where he’s at; and can you blame him? He’s got looks, comfort, reliability, affordability, and speed … and that checks all the boxes, if you ask us.
