Beautiful car, no matter what it's used for. --- Steve ---
This should be GREAT !! An injected 392 Hemi in a 39 Dodge. Different & exciting. I'm a big fan of the Southeastern Gassers too. --- SUBSCRIBED ---

There used to be a lot of nice looking 55-57 Chevy's on the strip, but there's just something extra cool about the previous generation Chevy's in...
Dropped a socket down a front frame stamping hole once, and it rolled back where the sun didn't shine. That socket rattled back when I...
