Outstanding! Haven't been on the board in awhile, but got to meet Rob Ida and talk about past lives. His father and my father must have crossed...
That rig is totally awesome! I remember Bobby Lagana's Twilight Zone funny cars from the 80's at Englishtown. Good to see the family is still...
I won a Caterpillar 22B - that was pretty cool!
Keep the bug dude, that's your baby. Gotta say, it's pretty sharp
I've said before, if I can get the scratch, I am building / restoring one of these. Don't know if I will ever drive it - minimally it would be a...
Hell yeah! Looks GREAT too! I have a '47 Ford 1/2 ton, but man I love the look of those '40s 1 1/2+ trucks
Dumb question from someone that doesn't know anything about chassis design - that frame looks like it would suffer from massive twist / flex given...
RIP - very sad. I may have known him - did he work in the telephone business?
I've got a 1947 Jailbar 1/2 ton - coming soon (sitting in a garage in Florida at the moment). Has the original flathead and 3-speed in it,...
I own an E-Type (the "proper" name of the car) - they aren't really that expensive compared to contemporary marques (I mean Ferrari, Maserati,...
Lots of tonners - anyone with a 1/2 ton? Just got one, wondering if there are others
41 with a 1947 Ford 1/2 ton - ok, well soon to be owner of it...it's in Florida at the moment awaiting shipment.
If I can get my wife's business off the ground, or make some more scratch, I'll pursue a FED as a project. I am no welder, so I'd go the chassis...
The original movie had inconsistencies as well - it takes place in 1962, yet the song on the closing credits is "All Summer Long" by the Beach...
Where the heck do you guys find these things? That is great!
Still available?
I gotta build me one of these. Unfortunately, I can't weld :( Any idea what a place like Funny Car Farm charges for the alterations?
Possibly, but can't tell enough from the photo. Not sure why I didn't happen more often - I am definitely not smart enough to know, but it's a...
They most certainly did spin one tire - I've got a great pic of a launch where one tire is tall and out of shape, the other has a normal profile...
Just stumbled on this as well...something I've thought of doing for years. I'm not really a NASCAR fan, but I do like the stock bodied cars, and...
Not to thread jack, but yes, Denny was all man (only liked the ladies)...so you are right there. About his drumming - he sucked at first, but got...
Big BB fan, and I can tell you, Denny WAS trouble. He was an intense dude (someone posted he was a '70's James Dean - that's pretty accurate) -...
Too bad the mechanic, Denny Wilson, isn't with us any longer. Nice story!
My old man dragged Westhampton back in the late 50's / early 60's. He still has some of his old trophies - I need to get those and / or take...
Here's the pic I have:
Check this out - here's the Jim and Allison Lee rear engined dragster at the 1977 Gatornationals...at approximately 4:44 of the video:...
I've been trying to re-acquaint myself with history and I ran across information about the McKeown Bros. "Outer Limits" AA/FD run out of Lakewood,...
Well thank you very much. Means alot. My heart and soul are in that car. Brian Anytime - you should be justifiably proud (and sounds like...
Love the Jungle Jim, Snake, Mongoose, etc. Out here, we got a kick out of the Swensen & Lani team, and I did dig Mitchell's Corvette. Still, my...
Riceman - that's what I am talking' about! Now, I'd probably never drive one of these beasts, but even the cacklecars - as sanitary as they are -...
