If you guys don't quite posting babe pictures that guys is going to post about a 100 custom car pictures.
Our Grandmother in North Hollywood California was also short and always loved her Chevies. I remember riding in her 54 Belair and her last car was a 56 Belair that was equipped with wood blocks on the gas and brake pedals. She let me borrow the 56 to show my Wife around town back in 76. The wood blocks were a little challenging making a great memory.
@down-the-road @Deuces Hello, I guess it takes a photo like the one of the little kid to realize my time under the 58 Impala from 1957 to 1960 and beyond, as a teen was not for a lost cause. It was possibly a 5 years later for that kid, thinking he is around 9 or so. In the early day, I was shown how to do gear changes to the Positraction rear end of the 58 Impala for my brother’s Friday night and all day action on Saturday at the local Lion’s Dragstrip. At first, he was the one to crawl under his Impala to change the 4:11 Positraction third member with a whole new unit he was able to purchase. Then as he did several weekend changes, he showed me how to do the same thing. It was safety in action as we were both under the Impala that was held up with two jack stands and a nice thick comforter on the level concrete backyard pad. The initial few times it took to watch him do the teardown and removal, to the axles, to the double set of hands lowering the complete unit was a difficult chore. But, the results for the Impala improved with each run during the timed practice runs to the elimination runs. Since I could not drive, I prepped the Impala and took films while my brother raced in the A/Stock class. The 4:56 Positraction unit was allowed as it was sold at the factory dealers for all owners of Chevys at the time. Jnaki For some, it was a laughing matter and a question of why go through such mechanics for a quicker time at the drags? It was very competitive and my brother wanted to get the E.T. as low and quick as possible. Back in my mind, his friend with the A/Gas class 34 Ford Coupe running an Oldsmobile motor was the goal or, so I thought. I was then the primary person after having my brother watching with sharp eyes to make sure I was doing the correct steps in the safety factor, the removal and re-installing the new Positraction rear end on a Thursday after school. When we got the hydraulic floor jack, my poor, but getting stronger arms took a beating, but everything worked as it should and no leaks were evident. Three good things came from the afternoon into night exchange: 1. My arms and shoulders were getting stronger and it was like a weightlifting workout. 2. With the exchange, I was able to drive the car around the block for a test drive, although I did not have a driver’s license. But, also, in exchange for the heavy duty exchange weekly, I was able to get my brother to take me anywhere I wanted in the 58 Impala. 3. By the time I was legally allowed to take the Impala out for a cruise night as a teen, I knew the Impala as well as anyone. It was a great, but tiring experience to constantly do the exchange, so, my brother had an equal chance to win in the races. He just needed to practice to get his starting line technique faster to get off the line and stay there to the finish line. Note: Now, he was able to lower the times with the stock set up from the factory to a quicker time or at least, within similar times between the two friend’s posted hot rods. But, they never raced each other. Or as long as my brother owned the Impala, he never told me they raced. 1962 They remained friends all the time, even after their own time in high school hot rod days and through adult life. Comparing times from both cars, the 1962 version, Impala "would have," at the last stage of modifications, (C&O Stick Hydro, Jocko ported/polished heads, Racer Brown Cam/Lifters, etc.) smoked the 1934 Ford Coupe all the way through the traps… yes! IMHO
