The best of the best.. RIP Bill....
For a street torquer, those heads will be fine. Use the Edelbrock if you want, doesn't matter much, and Comp Cams will steer you in the right...
Congrats on the feature and for the iconic truck build!! I remember it in R & C from back in the day!
Love the pic of Phil Bonner's '62 406 Ford. Saw him run it when new before he went to Al Means Ford in Decatur in 1963...Thanks for sharing!!
Don't forget Newton County Drag Strip, also in Covington, Ga. aka: Atlanta Speed shop dragway. Not the same as Yellow River..... as long as we're...
I remember his (Shropshire's) "Milk Wagon" '56 wagon at the the old "Atlanta $10,000" back in the early 70s (1970-71). Also Gene Evans with a...
Cragar SS wheels are my favorites for that "look" I like. Had 'em on several cars, 69Dodge-Photo taken at our Garden Grove, Ca. Apt when I was in...
When I became a car guy Car Craft was the size of TV guide and I could keep the current issue in my jeans pocket while riding my bike or my...
Unbelievable thread!! Can't wait for the next installment!! Keep up the good work on the truck!!
Outstanding work! That floor IS a thing of beauty! I'd hate to cover it myself!!
I'm thinking one of two places... Yellow River Drag Strip near Covington, Ga. but more likely Warner Robins Dragway just south of Waner Robins,...

What a start!
Looks like a good start!
Lookin' great so far! That thing might buff out ('cept for the trunk).
I think it's both. My '39 has "turbo" type mufflers and it's a little quieter than my F-150 with Flowmasters on it...I like it that way! What...
I bought a '56 Chevy two door wagon, in the rain....bad move. When I got it home, the rain over the primer had covered all the tiny rust pits that...
I think so too....
Wow! What a car! Great effort folks!!
Great job! I couldn't make it this year, glad to see your pics!!
The old Flxibles had 6-71 series Detroit Diesels in them for the most part. The 6V92 didn't come along until the 70s. If this one is an old...
Look kinda like Harley coffin lights available at many H-D shops. Take a look.....
Cooooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!
Just went to Houston to pick up a '32 Studebaker Dictator Sedan for some friends of ours. Looks and runs pretty well, has the original straight 8...
the Mad Striper was an old guy back when I was in my early 30s (I'm 64 now). Probably not around any more.
Looks like Ol' Dad is a handy guy! Neat project!
Lookin' GOOOOD!!
We lost another good guy....RIP Ken.
I did it a couple of times, but the best was on his '63 Plymouth Valiant 170/automatic. 101 HP!! I would rev the little 170 in neutral and push...
