that ranchero must have had some serious overload springs, I love details like that in these old photos.

Modern version, common for racecar repair.
I really dig the way they angle cut the cowl on that car, never seen that before, or never noticed it anyway.
Was definately built by Randy Gribble, I remember stopping by there when he was working on it, if I remember correctly the sinclair logo and...
That sure sounds like a neat car to a 6'4" guy!
Tell us about the stretched '32 roadster body
Bump steer police should be here any time, lol (and they are not wrong)
Wow, in 40 years of totally abusing GM spindles on dirt track cars I have never seen one break like that.
If the original was PBY wing struts I would be surprised if they and thicker than .049
I also resurrected an original '35 chevy gauge using that method, works perfect.
This T has a perfect stance, not the only thing in this picture that has that.
Traditional hot rodding at its finest, use what ya got or what you can get cheap, turned out great!
I believe sierra was Dan Press
Another great piece by Brian Lohnes, his stuff always makes my day.

Brian Lohns is a treasure, love listening to his documentaries
This truck was either restored or recreated a few years ago, I believe it is still around Indy
any more pictures of this one out there?
totally agree, been using them for a few years now and would never go back to anything else.
