.....I truly hate body work.....to think my father did it for 45 years, some days I feel like I learned not a damned thing. Oh well, such is...
I mean...after all.....LOLOL [ATTACH] From "The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary"
Maybe.... Someday....but I built this model almost 17 years ago as a mock up for my retirement project after I quit racing, but then the notion to...
No offense taken at all, I was just curious what some folks thought where other builders had gone wrong. Had I not decided to build my...
I grew up around this racecar and car carrier, since I was about 3 or 4 years old. [IMG]
Oh, and the "Moomjean" hauler has since been sold to a guy in the Sac area.
Wow! You've been busy! Now that makes me wonder if Lester and his son did the restoration on the racecar. I am thinking that's his son driving...

What does that mean????
PS, by 1964-66 they had evolved to this..... [ATTACH]
Please no grill shell. I realize its your car and you will do with it what you please but it seems you are asking for opinions here. The cars...
Thanks! I actually like it better sans hood.
Guide coat on....guide coat off....gonna take a bit more work and another coat of primer. [IMG] [IMG]
Really really good story Joey. Did you by chance get any pics of the roadster with the hood and hood sides still on it? Thanks!!
Thats a pretty nice set up....I would have loved to have gone that route, but my steering box is right there.
Exhaust inside or outside the frame is HUGE! If your exhaust is outside the frame the possibilities are endless and hopefully some guys will post...
