And here we see the Henry J's being processed through the gasser conversion machine. In goes a 60 HP flathead powered coupe and out the other end pops a 10 second gasser. Ahhh, the miracle of technology.

Winmon, I can remember the day, when my kids were doing the same thing.I had built a
three wheel rig, with a tube frame and a small bike neck& fork in front and some 8" spoke wheels in the rear. They must have put a thousand miles on that thing.

Boy, did Dorothy Malone turn my crank when I was in my 20s!

 

When I was something around 8 ('60 or '61) fell from my bike and got the brake handle in my leg, narrowly missing the femoral artery. Limped back home, mom brought me to a nearby emergency room, got 2 stitches. Couple days later back in business as usual. No lifelong traumas. I don't even remember having the stitches removed.

 

Man, that kid has a look of terror on his face!!!!!!!!!
