And I saw a '40 I liked! :) So is there a story behind it?
Yes it sure is. Lots of cool projects going on in that shop. The builder (Randy's) son is on the HAMB, here: Hot Rods - 1st time down the track...
Sweet stuff. Thanks!

Spent the weekend of Sept. 11-13 at the 47th Kampeska Kampout, Watertown SD hosted by the Watertown area's Vintiques Car Club. There are always...
My vote goes to my longtime favorite, the Cort Elliot '51 Chevy from BC. As seen on Kustomrama: [ATTACH]
Same notice received here. Cool weather's coming so ordered a hoodie. Maybe I'll get it by spring.... :rolleyes:
Very cool. I've been told it wasn't uncommon for the Ranger aircraft engine to be used in late 40s-early50s sprint cars. This is a restored one...
Earlier this year I visited family in the Portland area, did a daytrip along the Columbia and went as far as Cascade Locks. If I had known about...

Bump!
Anybody in this group from the midwest area (MN/IA) going to the North Central F.A.S.T. speed meet Sept. 12 in Northwood IA? Been there a couple...

That T-shirt trick even works for bench seat backs if you have a 2-door with a split backrest. Did that in my Chevy II, not to keep upholstery...
Yeh, you might be labelled a "gold chainer"! :D
Ooooooh.... that Riv!!
I have a story that may or may not apply. When I was in high school I had a buddy with a '55 Chevy station wagon, 235 and 3 speed. Not a sexy high...
Yeah, that does seem to be the prevailing model for big business in the new millennium. Dammit. :mad:
I think it might have been Ralph's brother Doyle. You know, a damn Doyle business.... :D
I support buying local if you can. I'm lucky in that I have two fully-stocked, franchised but locally owned parts stores in my town of around 2000...
