    Ok, Iam 70+ and have been into hot rods as long as I can remember. the small mags and all that stuff. I have had only one car sense 1960, a 32 5 window coupe, channeled at least 5". I got it from a drag racer in Savannah, Ga. while in the Air Force at Hunter AFB. came with 53 olds, 39 ford trans, 48 ford front end, and 48 rear end. changed rear to 53 olds, modeled suspension after Stone,Woods and cooks car, B&M trans and all, did ok untill Plymouth, Dodge came out with wedge( that big orange thing). drove it on the street after that, been there ever since. Changed to 350/350 set up still on the road. Its not the distnation its the drive.

    Welcome from North Texas. Amazing that you have had the same car for 49 years. I would love to meet and tal with you, too bad we are so far apart. You have probably forgot more than I know. Honored to talk with you!
