I believe he is asking about mild customs which never caught on but wagon popularity started the surfer's woody wagons in the 1950s and then the...
Thanks Jive-Bomber
Good communications between a track owner and promoter is THE most important. This is inexcusable and a bad omen even in these uncertain times.
He was always at the Bristol Spring Nationals back in the '60s-70s and always one of the most meticulate cars and of course a real screamer.
Many of you motorcycle drag racing enthusiasts will recognize T.C. Christenson and the "Hog Slayer" twin-engine Norton Top Fuel drag bike that was...
No activity in two years about one of the oldest drag strips in America. I have more info to add soon.
The 409 is my personal favorite engine. It is not the best but was the most powerful Chevrolet engine when I graduated from high school in 1962...
I think they look at home on certain high end classic cars in the '20s-'30s..... like Hemi Joel's '29 Cord.
If you are going to be involved with the JJ after retirement a '32 Ford sedan delivery is as traditional as it gets and will hide what's in it. A...
The Charlotte Ford plant has been very special to car enthusiast around the world. Model T's were produced there from 1924 to the end of the Model...
A really unusual show I thoroughly enjoyed last year. The building alone is worth the price of admission.
I was 15 years old when Shuffletown Drag Strip opened in 1959. It was about 5 miles from our house and didn't take long to ride my bicycle there....
I have driven high mileage cars for over 50 years and have saved a lot of money doing so. I have been towed just a few times in over one million...
My first personal experience with a GMC supercharger came in 1971 when a local racer placed his BB/G 1941 Willys coupe up for sale. It had a 4.71...
The first GMC supercharged street car I remember was Charles John's '55 Chevy wagon, who worked at Ace Speed Shop in Charlotte N.C. This was mid...
That's a car you won't be able to get off your mind for awhile.
I am getting close to cranking it. I decided to replace everything that might give trouble including gas tank and lines, the complete brake system...
Glad you got to talk with him. I talked with him at Greensboro. I also had the honor of introducing a close friend as he was also being inducted...
I asked Arnie today if he used the small carb and if it worked. He said he did and it didn't. I will have more on it tomorrow. All four of his...
Will do.
I will be in Greensboro this weekend and spend some time with Arnie. I am sure he will have something to add here about his memory of the intake.
It takes a lot of spray cans to come up with his topics. Just kidding Danny. Uh, no I'm not.
Great close-ups of the artistic Two Thing and it's superior engineering.
I have seen a lot of "unsightly" customs but this ain't one of them.
I sold mine for 66K about 30 years ago. It was a no sale at auction a couple years ago for over 200k.
Done. I am sure he will want to hear from you.
I bought an original T-Bolt in 1988 and had it restored by an expert. I showed it at Hershey in 1989, the first year it was eligible. I could not...
