Hey Reggie,

I aint sure how your planning on fixing that thing,,, Have you thought about a bigger engine and a 871, I believe that might weight the front end down just enough, hahaha awesome videos!

Looking forward to driving beside you and theOrgangrinder 300+ miles to Joplin again

Last year they roped off an area for hot rods and customs that were not racing...I`m guessing they will do it again this year.

I never get tired of watching the Grinder run, Rodney! Missed out on BG this year, but I'll see you at the HAMB Drags and hopefully I got my converter right and can hit me some 11's this time.

Cool, the ElCamino's can finally park next to each other outside of your garage.
If you're bringing yours, I had better get a coat of fresh primer on mine so it looks OK.

I'm not warming up but cooling down. In the process of installing a vintage air unit in my 52 BelAir, after last year's trip the wife said we will have a/c this year. See you in Mo-Kan

Organgrinder your car would scare me to death!! I am bringing this thing if it continues to run for the next 2 weeks. I have had it registered for the past 3 years and wound up bringing my roadster instead. This year I think the 40 will make it!!
