I used theater seats.[ATTACH]
On an episode of "Road Kill", the car kept quitting on the road. They tried replacing many things, including an after market HEI distributor, and...
When Corvettes were used for racing and not for display.
Nice to see no raised white letters, ugh.
Nice rake, and good to see the headers parallel with the ground. Too often the collector is hanging down.
PERFECT!
Agreed.
Thanks. At 15, in 1960, it was one of the first show worthy hot rods I'd seen.
I think this is a Deuce I saw at the first drag race I ever went to. It sat at the pit gate at PITA (Presque Isle Timing Association), summer,...

B-24 converted to Privateer ?

What a great history lesson. Give us more, please.
Thanks for the pics. Great to see hot rodding alive and well.
Great history. I remember the pic. in Car Craft, probably still have that issue.
