I've lurked here for years after joining. And apparently forgot to do an intro, oops. I hail from South Central PA. Car nut for life, which is quite a while. I enjoy the drag racing end of things with a weakness for g***ers. Living where we do, I've been to the Jalopy Showdown since the beginning. As well as the Jalopy Drags and many other events. Don't know that I can add a bunch of info here. But anytime I can I will. Current ride is a '61 Ranchero which is just about roadworthy. Hope to see some road and strip time this year!
Welcome.........seems strange since you've been here for 7 yrs! Need some more pics of the Ranchero. Looks pretty awesome...................................See you at the Showdown.............Don.
Thanks gentlemen! I haven't posted much about the car here due to it not being 100% period correct. That being said, I built it to 1968 spec's generally. Funny thing is one of the non-correct parts is causing me major grief. Damn Demon carbs, lol. This is how I bought it from my brother. Nephew is in the pic. This is it now, more or less. As I looked for pics to upload, I realized I don't have any good full exterior shots. And none of the interior as it sits now. Lon
Your ranchero is looks just about perfect to me. I would like to hear more about it, like engine, trans, suspension. Maybe a few more pictures as well.
Thanks guys! I'll post up a couple more pics. I won't be making the Showdown this year. Some friends and I are headed to Steel In Motion to catch the show and meet the Southeast G***ers. Not sure if I'm taking the car or not. It'll be all over PA and MD though.
As I stated earlier, I don't have any good full exterior pics. Guess I should take some when I get it out next time, damn cold weather ****s. Road salt everywhere.
