I'll post one when I get home tonite from the round up.

 

That thing is evil!!! :O) It's like the builder couldn't make up his mind on what he wanted :O)

heres my old 55, should have kept this one. It had fibergl*** fenders, 390/c-6,9inch and a econoline straight axle. She would boogie!!



i saw it on ebay a few years ago and the winner contacted me about buying it but i let it go :O(

here's a couple of pics of a killer Ford from the Round Up. Since the HAMB took a dump a week ago, I should have all of the pics I took on my website soon.

 

Here's a Y-block powered one typical of the period. If anybody remembers a '56 Ford g***er named "Sluggo" which was raced by Mize Bros. Garage in the '60s in Western Kentucky (Owensboro/Sturgis) I'd really love to see a pic or have info.

 

Models like this?

 

A decent looking '55:

 

Beautiful. Keep 'em coming!

 

yep just like that. that kit is the great kit ever made :O)

Then you'll probably like this guy's build.

You can see more of it at http://www.jamcs.homestead.com/56fordg***er.html

By the way, why not a Y-block in that Falcon. Hot Rod detailed a nice swap in early 60s.

 

A sweet Y-block in my wagon would be so cool and i've thought about it MANY times.
