Features 60's Style HotRods, Street, Race, Custom - Come On, Post pictures of what you like !

This is a picture of our 36 Ford G***er drag car that appeared in our local newspaper taken at the Westhampton, NY drag strip in the mid sixties. It was originally flathead powered and later swapped for a 327 SBC. We built it in my Grandpa's garage with lots of junkyard parts. I'll never forget Grandpa saying you kids are "crazy spending hundreds of dollars to win a 59 cent trophy" ( today it would be thousands not hundreds). At least we were there and had fun doing it.

Early 60's styling is my favorite since that is when I came of age. I was mainly influenced by the customs in Southern California, mild customs that were daily drivers. Here are a couple of pictures of what I drove back then..

 

Some of my favorites...
