The Nitty Gritty:
Welcome to Episode 53 of the Pro-Touring.com Podcast!
We’re simul-posting the show show here on TheMuscleCarPlace.com as well as on Pro-Touring.com so everyone can get their fix.
For those new to the scene, the Pro-Touring.com podcast show is hosted by myself and Larry Callahan, the owner of Pro-Touring.com.
The show is sponsored by the fantastic hot rod wiring supply company, Ron Francis Wiring, and we’re very appreciative that they were our FIRST EVER show sponsor, and the first sponsor to re-sign for 2013!

Hotchkis to Re-Enact Bullitt at SEMA!
Hotchkis Sport Suspension will undoubtedly have one of the coolest displays at SEMA, as the company has announced they will bring the chase scene from the movie “Bullitt” to life with customized versions of the famous green Mustang and black Charger. The display will include a 1967 Mustang Fastback and a 1969 Charger R/T owned by actor Patrick Warburton, and while purists might argue the model years aren’t accurate to the original cars, we think it will be cool all the same.
Of course, there’s a purpose behind both cars, as Hotchkis will be showing off their latest suspension and chassis components for both vehicles. For the Mustang that means Hotchkis’ Stage 1 bolt-on TVS suspension system including front coil springs, rear leaf springs, front and rear sway bars and monotube shocks.
