    Wow, Frank. That engine was roaring at you to "GET OUT!"
    Thank God.

    Glad you're here!
    All the best to you.
    Take time and heal up.

    Sounds like you’ve been in more than one “fire fight” Frank. Welcome back brother!

    Frank, I’m confused. Your original coupe burned up in ’72, then you built an exact replica? The pic in the garage with the cardboard lady is the new one?
     
  9. wow... that hurts the soul. i have no idea how you managed to survive that with all your limbs. did you even have a belt installed?

    The photo of the 2 coupes out front together in '62 is awesome but that photo of the "spare" coupe up on the rails of the truck bed rules!
     
  12. Yes that #2 that used last year (can't drive for a while now). Engine Trans newer in 69 Olds, #1 coupe had 49 Olds stuff...rest is the same...Frank

    Frank,
    That is an amazing story. Glad you made it out of that accident all right. Love both cars.
    You must be close to 80 years old and still kicking and hot rodding! That's terrific and I hope to make it that far and doing the same.
